On renaming libnet...

Personally, I am not in favor of making this name change. While I agree in some cases it may be a bit painful to migrate from libnet-1.0 to libnet-1.1, this is what I am trying to encourage people to do across the board. I do not plan to support or develop on libnet-1.0 any more at all (although I suppose I will accept and roll-in any useful patches I receive). I want libnet-1.1 to become the standard libnet platform upon which we all build.

And yes, having an application support both libnets is ugly and a royal pain in the ass, which is why I have included a migration document with the libnet distribution. It's not TOO painful in most cases.

That being said, I am open to additional discussion if someone can come up with a solid plan for making both camps happy.

Finally, let me apologize for my radio silence. I have been juggling all manner of objects lately and this one fell on the floor. :( I plan on getting back into the mix here and releasing new code soon, with all of Frédéric Raynal's patches, and then some. And just let me thank Frédéric Raynal for his wonderful work in the face of my apparent sabbatical.
