I have some tools where long pcap-ng comments are generated. It'd be possible,
in theory, to give those some extra file format, but as the data is pretty much
unstructured (the structure varies a lot) it's much easier to just output it as
text.
It'd therefore be great to allow longer pcapng comments to be displayed,
they're truncated at 240 bytes.
If somebody has some pointers how that might be possible (preferably without
increasing ITEM_LABEL_LENGTH) I'd take a stab at implementing it.
