v0.1pre2 2004-08-07  ziplock <sickbeatz@hotmail.com>

        + Added better system comptability

                + Fixed src/script.c -- some systems and compilers
                  would generate parse errors because of how 'Buffer' was 
                  allocated with malloc() prior to dSP;

                + Added datalink type '12' for OpenBSD's local
                  loopback device
                        - Sometimes OpenBSD does not define DLT_LOOP
                          as 12 so it would be missed on some systems.

                + Fixed src/packets.h -- TH_OFF and TH_X2 redefinition
                  error occured on some BSD platforms

                + Fixed how null-terminating characters are added to
                  received buffers. Some strange problems were occurring 
                  on certain systems.

        + Updated datalink offsets, added support for more devices and
          systems

        + Updated configure.ac to do more extensive checking for
          compatibility issues

        + Fixed several minor bugs (see ChangeLog for details)

        + Implemented capturing feature into Impost's packet sniffer

        - Exit if pcap_lookupdev() returns NULL (was contradicting with
          help display)
