In some cases "-v" was already used so "-V" is the option.
Note that the version information in these utilities is much shorter than what
is presented by the big programs.

Lastly, try to improve the documentation a bit concerning chopping and provide another example depicting 2 separate chopping regions. *Maybe* this is clearer?
One more example here for posterity: Given the following 75 byte packet, there
are 8 different ways to chop the 2 regions marked as 10 and 20 in a single pass:
<--------------------------- 75 ---------------------------->
+---+-------+-----------+---------------+-------------------+
| 5 | 10 | 15 | 20 | 25 |
+---+-------+-----------+---------------+-------------------+
1) editcap -C 5:10 -C -25:-20 in.pcap out.pcap
2) editcap -C 5:10 -C 50:-20 in.pcap out.pcap
3) editcap -C -70:10 -C -25:-20 in.pcap out.pcap
4) editcap -C -70:10 -C 50:-20 in.pcap out.pcap
5) editcap -C 30:20 -C -60:-10 in.pcap out.pcap
6) editcap -C 30:20 -C 15:-10 in.pcap out.pcap
7) editcap -C -45:20 -C -60:-10 in.pcap out.pcap
8) editcap -C -45:20 -C 15:-10 in.pcap out.pcap

Given the following example, it's now possible to chop the 10 bytes depicted from the 100 byte packet 4 different ways and achieve the exact same results:
<-------- 100 --------> Methods:
1) editcap -C 20:10 in.pcap out.pcap
+------+----+---------+ 2) editcap -C -80:10 in.pcap out.pcap
| 20 | 10 | 70 | 3) editcap -C -70:-10 in.pcap out.pcap
+------+----+---------+ 4) editcap -C 30:-10 in.pcap out.pcap

argument to the -F flag for pcap format is "libpcap", not "pcap", we
have a problem. Make it "pcap", and add a backwards-compatibility hack
to support using "libpcap" as well.
Update the man pages to refer to it as pcap as well, and fix the
capitalization of "WinPcap" (see http://www.winpcap.org) while we're at
it.
Also, refer to http://www.tcpdump.org/linktypes.html for the list of
link-layer header types for pcap and pcap-ng.

those options (which had been cut-n-paste from the tshark man page).
For editcap to support these options it would either need to be linked
against libwireshark or the address resolution stuff would need to be moved
from libwireshark to, for example, libwsutil.

support; TShark has read+write support. Additionally TShark can read a
"hosts" file and write those records to a capture file.
This uses "struct addrinfo" in many places and probably won't compile on
some platforms.

This patch adds a new '-S' option to editcap that will rewrite timestamps of
packets to insure that the new capture file is in strict chronological order.
This option's primary use case is to fixup the occasional timestamps that have
a negative delta time relative to previous packet.
This feature is related to (but does not depend on) capinfos enhancement
submitted in bug #4315 which helps identify tracefiles with "out-of-order"
packets.

I changed the patch a bit:
- Adapted to 80 chars wide screen
- Merged -w and -W parameters

Don't use anything on man page references - pod2man handles that.
Don't refer to "the capture file format section" of the Wireshark man
page, as there's no section explicitly labelled as such; just refer to
the beginning of the DESCRIPTION section.

The attached patch extends the synopsys and adds an 'Examples' chapter to
the editcap documentation.
I've edited this a bit, without the real knowledge :-(, to make it:
a. look better
b. make more sense (at least to me)

except that the 0x80 bit is turned on in the file version number field.
Turn that bit off before processing that field.
