I think there is no README.extcap. There is just extcap.adoc, but it is
about application, not about code/API. BTW I'm missing it.

Or do you think any other specific document?

I tested it with Wireshark/Qt. I can retest it with tshark too, good point.

I tested my try on Windows, but plan is to retest it on all three
platforms (Linux/Mac/Windows) before merge.
