Re: code available: netmap support for libpcap

I've checked netmap support into the master branch of libpcap.  The configure script checks for netmap support and 
compiles pcap-netmap.c iff the header files for netmap are present, as we do with other modules.

In order to allow capturing with Wireshark from the GUI (Wireshark *can* be told to capture on a particular interface 
from the command line), either there will need to be a way to enumerate interfaces or Wireshark will need to be able to 
open a device *not* on the list provided by pcap, by having the user type in the device name.  This is not an issue for 
programs that take the interface name on the command line, such as tcpdump, TShark, dumpcap, etc..
