That's one reason why I wanted to report a mismatch - if somebody
complains about WinDump/Ethereal/Analyzer/whatever not working
correctly, and the version message reports a mismatch between the driver
and the packet.dll, or the packet.dll library and the WinPcap library,
the reply can just be "we don't support that, try un-installing all the
versions you have installed, and re-install one and only one version".
