I suppose it might be possible to call pcap-config? But agree that it
doesn't seem really worth investing in.

How's that required to be formatted and loaded? tcpdump itself can also
dump the filter in BPF format, with -d/-ddd (-dd is a C representation,
so probably not useful). Perhaps we could even automatically call
'tcpdump' at runtime?
