for errors when closing a file to which we've written packets (we don't
bother checking if we're giving up on a capture).
Add some more error checks in Wiretap.
Make a single list of all Wiretap error codes, giving them all different
values (some can be returned by more than one routine, so they shouldn't
be per-routine).

write them in "libpcap" format, but the mechanism can have other formats
added.
When creating the temporary file for a capture, use "create_tempfile()",
to close a security hole opened by the fact that "tempnam()" creates a
temporary file, but doesn't open it, and we open the file with the name
it gives us - somebody could remove the file and plant a link to some
file, and, if as may well be the case when Ethereal is capturing
packets, it's running as "root", that means we write a capture on top of
that file.... (The aforementioned changes to Wiretap let you open a
capture file for writing given an file descriptor, "fdopen()"-style,
which this change requires.)

but does not link. Perhaps someone who understands the MS tools can help
out. I made it link a few months ago, but with different version of glib/gtk+.
I can't remember how I made it link.
Most of the compatibility issues were resolved with adding
#ifdef HAVE_UNISTD_H the the source code. Please be sure to add this to all
future code.

That requires that, in the packet-reading loop, we pass to the callback
routine the offset in the file of a packet's data, because we can no
longer compute that offset by subtracting the size of the captured
packet data from the offset in the file after the data was read -
"snoop" may stick padding in after the packet data to align packet
headers on 4-byte boundaries.
Doing that required that we arrange that we do that for "libpcap"
capture files as well; the cleanest way to do that was to write our own
code for reading "libpcap" capture files, rather than using the
"libpcap" code to do it.
Make "wtap_dispatch_cb()" and "pcap_dispatch_cb()" static to "file.c",
as they're not used elsewhere.
If we're using wiretap, don't define in "file.h" stuff used only when
we're not using wiretap.
Update the wiretap README to reflect Gilbert's and my recent changes.
Clean up some memory leaks in "wiretap/lanalyzer.c" and
"wiretap/ngsniffer.c", where the capture-file-format-specific data
wasn't freed if the open failed.
