Patch : fix minor configure wart for libpcap

[Erik de Castro Lopo <erikd+tcpdump () sensorynetworks com>]

Hi all,

I'm working on a patch for libpcap's configure script when I found a 
small problem (running autoconf version 2.57 on a Redhat 9 machine).

When I run autoconf on the unmodified configure.in from CVS I get
the following error which prevents a new configure script from
being generated:

    configure.in:35: error: do not use LIBOBJS directly, use AC_LIBOBJ 
      (see section `AC_LIBOBJ vs LIBOBJS'
      If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.
      See the Autoconf documentation.

I believe that the use of LIBOBJS here is legitimate (because libpcap
doesn't use automake) and the patch below prevents autoconf flagging this
as an error.

Cheers,
Erik
