currently wireshark can NOT load winpcap dynamic libraries from same dir as
wireshark.exe exist,

wireshark capture can worked OK if winPcap DLLs is installed into
c:\windows\system32.

If I put the wpcap.dll & packet.dll into same wireshark dirs,
it can NOT load these libraries.

----------------
in "wsutil/file_util.c":

function init_dll_load_paths() 

      /* XXX - Duplicate code in filesystem.c:init_progfile_dir */
      if (GetModuleFileName(NULL, path_pfx, MAX_PATH) == 0 || GetLastError() ==
ERROR_INSUFFICIENT_BUFFER) {
        return FALSE;
      }

      if (!program_path) {
        program_path = g_utf16_to_utf8(path_pfx, -1, NULL, NULL, NULL);
      }


### this "path_pfx" is the full path name with filename(wireshark.exe)
included,



----------------
in "wsutil/file_util.c":
ws_load_library(gchar *library_name) {

full_path = g_module_build_path(program_path, library_name);

### here load library for wpcap.dll/packet.dll would failed,
if we put these dlls into same dirs as wireshark in.

This is important for me, since I can NOT install winPcap on some special
machine, but I need wireshark working with pipe mode capture.
