I believe you can work around this by linking to the winpcap .lib file
(wpcap.lib perhaps?).  That file provides matches for the underscored
names, to make the linker happy, while re-pointing the code at the
undecorated exports from the wpcap.dll file at runtime.

Or at least, so I heard on some MS compiler blog at one point in the
distant past...
