Yeah basically, you have to ... install all the libs/includes for w32api and
winpcap developers pack in sane places then hand ./configure and compile
everything. SOME things will compile under gcc, others you need visual c++
for.
Making sure you have all the correct libs is the hard part atm ;)
http://thefinn.myftp.org/ <- the project which required the patch in the
first place.
Thanks for the help tho,
