Patch for Snort-1.8.7

Patches are applied by copying the appropriate patch file into the snort root directory and typing (replace x with your version number)

    patch -p1 < snort-1.8.x.patch

As our patches add additional files that must be compiled, the makefile needs to be rebuilt via

   aclocal
   autoconf
   automake

Then, the normal build process for Snort can be continued.
