Compiling on Solaris w/o bpf.h ??

[Tom Briglia]

I figured out how I had to edit the gencode.c file changing bpf.h to
pcap-bpf.h. It would be nice if this was added to the INSTALL or README
files since it seems to be an old problem relating to pcap headers.

Also for anyone interested in compiling on Solaris 10, it appears that
Solaris 10 now includes:

ether_ntohost
ether_hostton

in /usr/include/sys/ethernet.h.

So in order to get Argus to compile I had to go hack up argusfilter.c and
comment out the varied declarations of ether_ntohost ether_hostton. Once I
did that everything finally compiled. :-)
