That is good to know, thanks for your response. I just got the beta 4
and had a look at rpcap. It is a substancial amount of code (around
6000 line client+server), so it is certainly a more "heavy-weight"
solution than I would like. But it also looks rather nicely done. If
it could be integrated into libpcap, I think that would basically
solve the remote tracing discussion here.

Unfortunately, that task is a bit too big for my timeframe. I will see
whether there are any plans in this direction on tcpdump.org.
