Nice,

Me or someone else will review it and if ok check it in.


You do know that  tethereal has already -z    support to do exactly
the same calculateions as io graphs do   but tethereal will output
everything in a nice ascii table format   which can be translated
easily into CSV by piping it through sed?

The tethereal -z option is more convenient when you need to do this
for MANY files and want to automate the entire process.


Someone should create a nice wiki page for how to use tehtereal -R
"not frame" -z   and pipe it through tail (remove header) and sed
(CSVize it) to automatically generate input for gnuplot.
