primary and secondary error messages and let the parent worry about how
to display them. This means dumpcap doesn't need stub routines for
generating the formatting tags for the primary and secondary messages.
Have a separate message for capture filter errors, so that the parent
can check whether the capture filter looks like a display filter and
report the appropriate message. This means that dumpcap doesn't need a
stub routine for compiling display filters (a stub routine also means
that Ethereal won't do the check for capture filters that look like
display filters!).

no longer needs util.c, so it no longer includes routines that use
host_ip_af(), so it no longer needs to define its own host_ip_af().
That also means dumpcap.c no longer needs to include <sys/socket.h>.

using dumpcap as the capture child for Ethereal.
dumpcap is a plain console application now, even for Win32 (so no WinMain, create_console and special piping stuff reguired). The undocumented command line option -Z will switch dumpcap into "child mode", using binary instead of plain text output messages to communicate with a parent Ethereal.
Ethereal's main.c no longer needs to distinguish between child mode or not, so some simplifying here.
capture_sync.c has to call dumpcap in a "hidden window" mode using CreateProcess instead of spawnvp, otherwise an uggly console window would appear. The handles created by _pipe doesn't seem to be inheritable for this function, using CreatePipe instead.
The file capture_loop.c is only needed by dumpcap, removed from Ethereal link objects.
Some debugging aid added and other minor cleanup done.

Even though dumpcap isn't finished I would like this patch applied in
order to:
1. remove some compiler warnings
2. avoid a seg fault when running dumpcap without parameters as normal
user.

remove a lot of redundant code from tethereal and use (move) stuff from capture_loop.c instead.
concentrate common capture related code in capture_opts.c, e.g. trying to find the right interface to capture from (command line option, preference, first usable) instead of duplicating this code over several files.
remove redundant code from dumpcap.c
this also implements command line option -D (and indexed interfaces at -i) for Ethereal and Dumpcap (as we have it in Tethereal already for a while)

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

This way, the capture child don't need to now any of the packet_counter things (no epan/packet.h and all alike).
Currently the capture_info code will always open another wiretap file instance to build it's own counter values. This isn't optimized for now (next step: use data from cf_continue_tail() somehow).

this fortunately removes *a lot* of dependencies and make the resulting binary a lot smaller (and hopefully faster to load :-)
some more cleanup (like replacing // by /**/)

personal backup only, not meant for public testing!
I've copied main.c into dumpcap.c and carved out all things not needed
currently won't work as a command line tool, capture_loop.c wants an input pipe
console output is also very ugly and the whole code needs a lot of further cleanup
shouldn't break the unix build as I've only changed the nmake files so far, but who knows ...
