 Sheesh.  Sound the idiot alarm.
 
 The patch I sent doesn't accomplish what the OP requested at all.  His 
 patch works fine by removing the RUN_DEPENDS for snort.  I need to decide 
 if I want to add snort to the OPTIONS (as well as suricata), so put this on 
 hold while I think this through more carefully.
