interface by running dumpcap, so that if you need privileges to open an
interface, and dumpcap has those privileges, neither TShark nor
Wireshark need them.

link-layer header types for interfaces; if special privileges are
necessary to open capture devices, Wireshark and TShark shouldn't have
those privileges, but dumpcap should.

substitute our own (I wrote them all, so I can steal them from the
BSD-licensed libpcap if I want :-)). This means that
linktype_name_to_val() and linktype_val_to_name() are always available,
and we don't need to #ifdef use of them.
Use pcap_datalink_val_to_description() to get the description for a
particular DLT_ value, rather than mapping the DLT_ value to a
WTAP_ENCAP_ value and getting the description for the latter.

- retrieving the list of remote PCAP interfaces
- password authentication support
- UDP data fransfer
- packet sampling (available in WinPcap 4.x)
etc.
fix problem if non-default rpcap port is used

this in the GUI rather than calling pcap_stats() directly. This gets rid
of the last pcap_open_live() call in the GUI code. Update
README.packaging.

Add a capture_interface_list(), which works similar to
get_interface_list() except that it forks dumpcap instead of calling
the pcap routines directly. Use it in the GUI.
Add a "-I" flag to dumpcap, which prints out verbose interface
information.
Tested under Windows and Linux.

as an argument, and, on an error, if they have an error message, have
them set that "gchar *" to point to a g_malloc()ed string containing the
error message, rather than taking a pointer to a buffer for that message
as an argument. That's more like what's done in Wiretap, and doesn't
impose an upper limit on the lengths of those error messages. If that
pointer is null, don't allocate the message string and return it.
Have that error message already have the "cant_get" processing applied
to it, so nobody other than those routines need to call the "cant_get"
routines to process the error messages.
Have get_airpcap_interface_list() explicitly set "*err" to the
appropriate error code.
Clean up indentation.

warnings.
Include "wiretap/libpcap.h" in "capture_loop.h", to get its declarations
of data structures for headers in libpcap files. This lets us remove
the includes of "wiretap/libpcap.h from files including
"capture_loop.h".
Make "log_func_ignore()" in "tethereal.c" static, and declare some of
its arguments unused. Also get rid of an unused variable.
Include <pcap.h> before including "wiretap/wtap-capture.h", to declare
"struct pcap_pkthdr".

this way, the capture prefix will "logically" group the files together and file browsers will also group them
we may want to move the files into a subdir capture later
