"Ask the wireshark-dev mailing list before you start a new development
task."

I have modified wireshark.nsi to add flags for loading individual extcap
binaries in silent mode.
https://bugs.wireshark.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=16562
This allows the user to install if desired but doesn't burden all installs
with them.

1. Ok to proceed in the submission process?

2. Ok to update the file that builds this section of user's guide in the
same patch?
https://www.wireshark.org/docs/wsug_html_chunked/ChBuildInstallWinInstall.html

3. The extcap help files on Windows are not found:
https://bugs.wireshark.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=15592
Moving them to the same directory as the binaries would fix this.
Do in this patch or since it's a different bug make a different patch?

Process still seems a bit daunting to get from my hard drive to an eventual
release.
Thanks in advance for any guidance or tips.
