Does anyone mind if I change the way ethereal saves captures?
That is, I want to change it to act like other [commercial] packet
analyzers: When you capture some packets, ethereal saves the trace
to some file that only it knows. (it will create a unique name with
tempnam() and pass the name to libpcap).

After the trace is completed, it is automatically loaded, parsed, and
displayed on the screen. If the user wants to save the trace, he can
then chose "File | Save As" to give the file a name.
