winpcap binding

[maarten van damme]

hehe, thank you, that was what I was looking for. I've created an import lib
from the dll and now started to translate the header files following those
guidelines.
I'm assuming thats how I have to do it? :)

the problem is that it's a lot of work and that I can never really test if
what I have so far is really working...
