The new WinPcap library is multi-threaded. Follow this e-mail thread:

Guy added /MD for the C compiler flags, but then had problems
with multiple symbol definitions in the C libraries:

That's why he put in the /NODEFAULTLIB:libcmt flag for the linker.
When I compile the win32 binaries, though, I don't use the Makefiles,
but a different build system, so I haven't checked their veracity lately.

The file Makefile.nmake (note the case) is indeed in CVS.
