makefile.in files are not for use by make. They are the template
used by "configure" (which was created by the "autoconf" package)
to make the Makefile.

Ah, you're runnin on Win32. "configure" works on Unix, and although
it might work on Win32 in the cygwin environment using gcc, it won't
work with MSVC. That's why, for example, in Ethereal, we have
Makefile.nmake files, which are separate from the Unix makefiles.

Tcpdump, however, will not build on Win32. WinDump, however,
is Tcpdump compiled for Win32. It uses WinPcap, which is libpcap
compiled for Win32.
