simh 3.12.3-1 has been built without HAVE_TAP_NETWORK, losing support for unprivileged 'tap' interface access. Was this intentional?

Is simh-3.12.3-2 better?

3.12.3-2 works well, thanks.

$ sudo ip tuntap add name simh0 mode tap user grawity
$ sudo ip link set simh0 up
$ simh-vax
sim> attach xq tap:simh0
sim> show xq
XQ, address=20001920-2000192F*, vector=250, BR4, MAC=08:00:2B:AA:BB:CC, type=DELQA-T,mode=DELQA, polling=disabled, attached to tap:simh0

(It looks like the makefile now tries to autodetect the -D options when USE_NETWORK=1 is set?)

As I understand it messes libpcap.a and libpcap.so and fails if libpcap.so exists saying that it does not support static linking.
