Joerg Mayer wrote a skeleton "capture_ipv6()", and I filled it in today.
It was tested by the rigorous methodology of shoving a couple of IPv6
capture files through a FIFO from which Ethereal was reading captures,
and checking the counts against what was in the file :-); it got the
right answers there, but I might not have tested all the
extension-header stuff.
