Speaking of timestamps, it seems that only a couple of the formats
read by wiretap support sub-microsecond timestamp resolution
(specifically, the AIX libpcap variant, and the iptrace 2.0 format),
and it looks like wiretap can't write either of them.

Any suggestions as to what we could do about this? 
I'm particularly looking for 1 ns nanosecond resolution,
although if we're going to change it, picosecond
couldn't hurt (:-)). I'm actually not capturing using
Ethereal in this case, just viewing externally captured 
or even generated data files.
