First off, thank you for libnet, it's terrific, and terribly useful. We're using it mainly for QA purposes.

My question:

We compile with lots o' warnings here, so I have to cast away const's on many of my calls into libnet.

If I were to produce a patch that basically transformed:

libnet_pblock_append(libnet_t *, libnet_pblock_t *,

                     u_char *, u_long)

into

libnet_pblock_append(libnet_t *, libnet_pblock_t *,

                     const u_char *, u_long)

and fixed up all of the libnet_build_* calls to match, would it have a chance at being accepted for 1.1.1?
