Extcap Capture Interface
Extcap is a plugin interface, which allows for the usage
of external capture interfaces via pipes using a predefined
configuration language which results in a graphical gui.
This implementation seeks for a generic implementation,
which results in a seamless integration with the current
system, and does add all external interfaces as simple
interfaces.
Windows Note: Due to limitations with GTK and Windows,
a gspawn-winXX-helper.exe, respective gspawn-winXX-helper-console.exe
is needed, which is part of any GTK windows installation.
The default installation directory from the build is an extcap
subdirectory underneath the run directory. The folder used by
extcap may be viewed in the folders tab of the about dialog.
The default installation directory for extcap plugins with
a pre-build or installer version of wireshark is the extcap
subdirectory underneath the main wireshark directory.

bug #9009
Also take a look in doc/extcap_example.py for a Python-example
and in extcap.pod for the arguments grammer.
Todo:
- Integrate with Qt - currently no GUI is generated, but
the interfaces are still usable
