Nope. Although it wouldn't be super helpful if they were to remove/update the 
ANSI compiler test. That would make libpcap at least *compile* on windows with 
the autotools. I think tcpdump's configure script removed that test at some 
point.

Linking (shared) is currently not possible though. Fixing that is more 
complicated as libpcap's Makefiles are mostly handcrafted (don't use e.g. 
automake which would handle OS specific things such as the setting proper file 
extensions).
