No, no, no! We want to leave libnet-1.0 files exactly as they are! The whole goal is to *not* break libnet-1.0 programs!

If you'll read the patch I posted a few days ago, it leaves /usr/include/libnet.h
alone (that's the 1.0 include file), and adds /usr/include/libnet2.h
next to it. Likewise, it leaves
/usr/bin/libnet-config
alone (so libnet-1.0 programs can still compile), and adds /usr/bin/libnet2-config
next to it.

See? No big disruption. Smooth sailing for old programs. Everybody happy. (Except those who wanted to force old programs to upgrade to libnet1.1; those people will be upset that we've made it easy for both versions to coexist forever.) - Dan
