Log:
 the point of no return ...
 
 using dumpcap as the capture child for Ethereal.
 
 dumpcap is a plain console application now, even for Win32 (so no WinMain, create_console and special piping stuff reguired). The undocumented command line option -Z will switch dumpcap into "child mode", using binary instead of plain text output messages to communicate with a parent Ethereal.
 
 Ethereal's main.c no longer needs to distinguish between child mode or not, so some simplifying here.
 
 capture_sync.c has to call dumpcap in a "hidden window" mode using CreateProcess instead of spawnvp, otherwise an uggly console window would appear. The handles created by _pipe doesn't seem to be inheritable for this function, using CreatePipe instead.
 
 The file capture_loop.c is only needed by dumpcap, removed from Ethereal link objects.
 
 Some debugging aid added and other minor cleanup done.
