fix log msg typo
Capture-related, but it only changes a log message, not anything that
matters.

Add some comments to the effect that capture_loop_dispatch must timeout to make
the packet batching stuff work properly.
Hence, do not block forever when doing a select() on a capture fd.
Capture-related.

Fix bug 1181 by always using select() on a capture fd on linux
Capture-related.

do the fifo test on platforms where mkfifo is available
Not a change in the code, but a change in the test scripts probably
related to earlier changes.

Clear out any remaining references to the h223 plugin. Replace the
references to h223 in README.plugins with agentx since it's small and
no one seems to be in a hurry to move it to epan/dissectors.
Not USB or capture-related.

take out oid_to_subid_buf again, because joerg has put it back into packet-snmp.c.
Not USB or capture-related.
One should, in theory, be able to do a select() on the devices on which
the USB capture code in libpcap reads. It might be that you can't.
However, it also appears to be the case that the "selectable file
descriptor" member of the pcap_t structure gets set from the "file
descriptor" member *before the "file descriptor" member gets set*! That
Does Not Look Good, and could easily completely screw up doing selects
on the capture fd, as you're doing selects on some random number that
might not even be a valid file descriptor.
I'll figure out what needs to be fixed, and check in a fix. When that's
done, try building the top-of-tree libpcap and see if that fixes it.
