  Modified files:
    wiretap              file.c libpcap.c 
  Log:
  When reading a capture file, we can detect whether it's compressed or
  not, so it's OK to use "zlib" to read capture files, as it handles
  uncompressed files correctly.
  
  When *writing* capture files, however, we can't detect automatically
  whether the user wanted to write the file out as a compressed file or
  not, so we should *NOT* use "zlib" until we add a flag to the API
  specifying whether to write the file out as a compressed file or not.
  
  Furthermore, the code in Ethereal that implements the "-S" flag depends
  on being able to get the "FILE *" for a capture file being written, so
  that it can "fflush()" it.
