   What is WpdPack? I don't feel like googling.

   If I were you, I'd avoid trying to struct-map these things. Read and   
   write them octet-by-octets instead. Create utility functions for doing   
   that as appropriate. It's simple, fast and platform-independent.   
      
   Those header files are not even common across all Unixes. Not even   
   across Linux -- depending on what standard you chose to code against   
   you get some of them, and you might get differently named versions.   
   Lots of trouble and non-portability for no gain. It's not as if a   
   struct protects you from changes to the standard IP header format,   
   either -- the ancient RFCs rule, and will always rule.
