Until now we didn't have a problem with the Sniff stuff.  If it does
cause problem, we could probably remove it.

SNiFF+ was a commercial product with a free version.  The company
providing it, Take Five, apparently no longer exists.  takefive.co.at is
now someone's personal blog.  takefive.com is not working.

Hmm, found a hint that they are taken over by Wind River Systems.
Their website cannot find anything for "sniff".

I guess it's dead...
