If it is, should the Windows binaries be built with WinPcap 3.0?  Code
built with 2.x won't use the new 3.0 APIs even if they're present, but
code built with 3.0 should use them if present but should still work
with 2.x.  "pcap_findalldevs()" might, at least on Windows, do a better
job of finding interfaces than the older scheme (and future APIs might
allow other advantages, e.g. letting you enter an IP address of a
machine on one of the networks the machine running Ethereal is on and
picking the interface on that network).
