    Wiretap isn't meant to be a packet-capture library [any more].
    
    Wiretap was originally being writen to be a packet-capture library which
    might eventually replace libpcap but that's no longer the case: it's now
    meant to be a library for accessing multiple types of files.
    
    As such, don't describe it in the README as a packet-capture-library-to-be;
    in fact since it's really internal to Wireshark don't mention it at all.
    
    Don't discuss the fact that ancient (pre-2003) versions of zlib don't work
    for Wireshark's purposes.
