The pflua guys made a user-space copy of Linux BPF JIT. I'm planning to use 
that because it was almost as fast as pflua with a lot fewer usage headaches 
and dependencies.

I'm making an MIT licensed app... so it isn't an issue for me personally if 
there is some GPL2 Linux code present. I don't think anybody made a non-rump 
version of the BSD one yet or I'd use that... I'm trying not to stray too far 
from the app's original purposes until it has some working features present.

Until that time comes, I just started out with libpcap offline mode BPF for 
development purposes because it's standard and already available, and allows 
operations upon raw packet pointers with no issues at all.
