I think the main difference between the winpcap from the winpcap site
and the winpcap that comes with nmap is that nmap uses its own
installer to install winpcap.
They both use the same dll files.
There may still be some differences between the install logic between
nmap and winpcap but I was pretty sure all those things had been
worked out.
