  Log:
  In the MSVC++ 6.0 C library, "line-buffered" doesn't mean what one might
  expect - it means "same as fully-buffered".  This means that the "-l"
  flag is a no-op on Windows.
  
  Instead of setting line-buffered mode with "setvbuf()", set a flag and,
  if that flag is set, flush the standard output after the information for
  ever packet is printed; this isn't "line-buffered", either, but, as the
  reason for doing line-buffering is to allow the output of Tethereal to
  be piped to a program and to have that program see the output for a
  packet as soon as the packet is seen and dissected, it should be just as
  good as line-buffered.
