Yes.  There should also be separate lists for read-only and read-write
formats.  A comment in win32-file-dlg.c mentions pulling the extension
list from ethereal.nsi, but we should probably find some way to dump the
list from Wiretap to ethereal.nsi instead.

The Windows file saving code should probably add an extension if the
user didn't supply one as well.  BTW, is there an official extension for
pcap-formatted files?
