Well, the real name should perhaps be "IP/IP", as, given that it runs on
top of TCP or UDP, I'm not sure where it depends on Ethernet.

But, with the parenthetical "(Industrial Protocol)", that should make it
clear enough, I suspect.

We might as well call it "packet-enip.c" again, with that.  Gerald, we
should probably check this one in; don't do the next release until it
goes in.
