I agree, this is some kind of bug.  The getopt.h file contains the routines 
needed to parse the command line options.  My FreeBSD test machine 
(5.4-RELEASE) has copies in both /usr/include and /usr/src/include.  I'd 
suggest you run the "find / -name getopt.h -print" command to see where the 
include file lives.  Then patch the web100clt.c file to point to this location.

The client program (web100clt.c) should not rely on any web100 functions or 
services.  You should be able to simply run a "gcc -oweb100clt web100clt.c" 
command (linking in any socket libraries) to build the client.  The "make 
web100clt" command should just make this easier.

So the client should not link in the -I/usr/local/include/web100 or
-I/usr/include/pcap libraries.
