If extcap programs use libwiretap to write pcapng files, then it should
probably be in a libwiretap call that every program that uses libwiretap should
call.
If extcap programs use the static libwritecap library to write pcapng files, as
dumpcap, text2pcap, and the ciscodump extcap program do, then it's not even
necessary.
