A) Wouldn't it make sense to integrate this into editcap? That's where
   this seems to belong.
B) Manpage is missing (among other stuff, mentioned above)

A) It probably would make sense from the user point of view.  I needed this now - when I have more time (next month) I will look at how this could fit in with the other editcap code, and which options it would be incompatible with, etc.

Ideally I would like this functionality to be available though a checkbox in 'File | Export specified packets' although I'm not sure it really fits with the other options there.

B) I realise the manpage is missing.  What is the other stuff?
