add a new feature to clear the currently captured packets and restart the capture with the previous parameters
various code cleanup and minor bugfixes
Win32: use millisecond resolution in capture_loop, to smooth screen update a bit (500ms instead of 1000ms)
svn path=/trunk/; revision=14059
If this is used together with an option where input files changes too fast (e.g. new file every second), capturing will be (hopefully) stopped.
I've replaced the former capture pipe message format into a somewhat more general format to remove a lot of confusion.

fflush new output file (to have at least the pcap header on disk) before sending the corresponding message to the capture parent
svn path=/trunk/; revision=14052
most notably:
- moved opening of safe_file to the capture child (capture_loop.c)
- removed save_file_fd from capture_opts (no longer need to have it global)

filter after installing the filter.
Set HAVE_PCAP_LIB_VERSION if we're building with WinPcap 3.1; it's not
present in earlier versions, but is present in current 3.1 betas.
Check HAVE_PCAP_LIB_VERSION when building capture-wpcap.c.

move another two capture related fields (iface and cfilter) from cfile to capture_opts
also move the handling of capture related command line options from main.c to capture.c, that way a future privilege seperated capture program can use the same code to parse it's command line than Ethereal.
It might be even possible to share this parser code even with Tethereal, didn't took a closer look at this.

don't use global cfile at all but only an untpyed handle to call the cf_... functions in file.c
move the save_file member from capture_file to capture_opts, as it's only used while capturing and while preparing it
svn path=/trunk/; revision=13276
Hopefully the unspecified forward declaration of capture_options_t in main.h is portable, but buildbot will tell me. This way I need the internals of that struct only at the places I really use it.

"sizeof(errmsg)', when "errmsg" is a "char *", doesn't give the size of
the string to which "errmsg" points, it gives the size of the pointer
itself, which is too small.

to make it compile on UN*X. Get rid of some #includes that don't appear
to be needed, at least on OS X 10.3 (they might be needed on other
platforms).
