I'm trying to port https://github.com/limhoff-r7/metasploit-framework/blob/feature/mod... to appveyor so that travis-ci does the Linux build of metasploit-framework and appveyor does the Windows build, but I'm stuck at how to install the Windows equivalent of libpcap-dev, which is needed for the pcaprub gem which needs pcap.h. Is my only option to use powershell to attempt to download the libpcap tarball from http://www.tcpdump.org/release/libpcap-1.5.3.tar.gz on each build, unpack it and then get the gem to find the pcap.h header it wants?

   Hi Luke,

   I think you are describing the right way.
