OK, done.

If you have any flavors of Windows handy, you might want to check to make
sure the current code carves up the description-and-name correctly; it
should do so *if* interface names never contain a colon, but I don't
remember whether they do or not on NT 5.x (W2K, XP, W2K3 Server), and I
sincerely hope no flavor of Windows OT (95, 98, Me) puts colons in the
interface names (if they do, the problem becomes harder to solve, and
perhaps impossible to solve, in which case we'd have to take the
descriptions out of the drop-down list and, instead, perhaps have a
"Browse..." dialog to let you choose an interface from a list giving
descriptions, names, etc.).
