  You can use any program that has stdio in another program with
popen(2).  Please see http://cm.bell-labs.com/cm/cs/upe/

  In the 4.0 tcpdump, there will be a library, "libdissect" which you
can link directly.  It will take a pcap source, and will produce output
to a fprintf-like function (which could be a string append function for
another program).  This is a work in-progress.
