"Explicit list" of interfaces on which to capture, or "explicit list" of IDBs
in the capture file? I'm suggesting the latter, not the former. "any" would
just be passed to libpcap, which would open a PF_PACKET socket but not bind it
to any interface; however, either libpcap would keep a list of interfaces and,
when a packet arrives on an interface that's not in the list, add an entry to
the list for that interface and indicate it to the capturing program so that it
can add an IDB (this would require API changes to libpcap), or the capturing
program could do so.
