Checked in, but with all the new routines made static rather than

I assume that, on Windows, the default interface description is the one 
that comes from Winpcap.

As long as the descriptions come from the stuff returned by 
"get_interface_list()", they're all ASCII.

A CList widget is a rather heavyweight item to use if all you want to 
do is store the current settings.  I'd get rid of the CList.
