Oh, OK I thought TCP/UDP were already public as well, but I guess only
IP has been needed so far.

I don't see any specific reason to keep the proto_ variables private,
so I have no objection to making them available. All of the protocols
involved in this case already have separate header files anyways.
I'm almost tempted to create a separate file just for the proto_
variables so that any code that needs to manipulate protocol IDs
doesn't have to include a bunch of different headers, but I think
that's overkill at this point.

Ya, I was just thinking it would be simpler to be able to do a straight ==.
