Alexander Leidinger (netchild) · 0.6.b,1
Update to 0.6.b.

- gtk2 support
- new sniffing method was added as a plugin
- three new plugins
- bumb PORTEPOCH, otherwise 0.6.b (they mean hex B) wouldn't be recognised
  as newer by pkg_version etc.
- add 'security' as a second category (as nmap and friends are mainly there)
- respect CFLAGS, PTHREAD_CFLAGS and PTHREAD_LIBS
- make SSL-support optional
- base compilation of gnome frontend on autodetection of installed gtk20,
  use gnome-PKGNAMESUFFIX
- disable auto-download of new version via wget (saves dependency on wget,
  FreeBSD-users should update via the ports-collection anyway)
- enable compilation and installation of the plug-ins
- compile lc-converter (an application port IMO should not install sources)
- don't install ettercap.fr.8.in

Update to 0.6.3.1.  This version fixes many security vulnerabilities, which is why I'm committing it (the submitter said there was no reply from MAINTAINER).

Update checksum - it appears the authors rerolled the tarball, changed a couple of 'short's to 'u_short's and altered the processing order for some packet flags.
