...none of which involve editing particular fields in the packet; the *only* editcap function that modifies packet data 
at all is the "overwrite randomly-chosen bytes with random values" function, which is used for fuzz-testing.  Editcap 
is (by design and intent) not linked with libwireshark, so it doesn't and can't even know what packet fields are.

I.e., don't get confused by the "edit" in "editcap"; it doesn't do the kind of editing that the current Packet Editor 
code does.  Some of the editing it does might *also* be useful, but that would involve editing the packet list pane, 
removing packets, not editing a *particular* packet.
