Build Information:
I run a customized version of Wireshark that includes proprietary dissectors,
but it is based on the following:

Version 0.99.5
Compiled with GTK+2.10.7, with GLib 2.12.7, with WinPcap (version unknown),
with libz 1.2.3, with libpcre 6.4, with Net-SNMP 5.4, with ANDS, with Lua 5.1,
with GnuTLS 1.6.1, with Gcrypt 1.2.3, with MIT Kerberos, with PortAudio
PortAudio V19-devel, with AirPcap.

Running on Windows XP Service Pack 2, build 2600, with WinPcap version 4.0
(packet.dll version 4.0.0.755), based on libpcap version 0.9.5, without
AirPcap.

Built using Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 build 8804

Wireshark supports "File -> Export" for various file types (plain text,
postscript, csv, ...).  It would be nice to be able to import files of one or
more of those types as well via a similar "File -> Import" mechanism.  If it is
not possible to add Import support for all file types, then as many as are
feasible.  Plain text files would seem to be a logical first choice to try to
support, and Stephen Fisher remarked that this could probably be done by simply
calling "text2pcap".  Certain requirements of the exported file would obviously
be necessary, such as the fact that all packet bytes would have had to have
been included in the export.
