I'm not sure whether Wireshark is built for the "console subsystem" or the
"Windows subsystem" on Windows, but it probably *should* be built for the
"Windows subsystem", and that may mean that, by default, there's no console for
a process created that runs it, *even if it's run from the command line*.

The right fix may be to add "printf_stdout()" routines that, in Wireshark (but
*not* in TShark or dumpcap or any console-mode programs), creates a console if
we don't already have one, so that output to stdout, as well as output to
stderr, goes to a console.

BTW, I don't know whether the Windows shell (cmd.exe) supports 2> or not.  It
might not.
