Thanks for the suggestions....

As it seems I can't just substitute one include file for another, would
it be cleaner to do "#ifdef LINUX" around the code segments in question
and substitute the BSD macros with cpu_to_be16 and similar?

In the first instance, I'd like to port the OpenBSD code I've got to
Linux, so I can use it, but in due course I'd like to adapt it to use
autoconf, and submit the changes back to the author (who's expressed an
interest in portability changes, but a lack of time to do them himself).

That being the case, I'm wondering if there's a "right" way to fix this
particular problem, or if everyone just defines macros to get round it.
There must be plenty of other code that needs to solve this problem - is
there any reason to prefer any particular solution?

Mike.
