  Well, I'd say medium term!

  I'd like to see this in libpcap 1.0.
  {Number wise, we could re-release 0.8.1 as 1.0, and call the interface
version 2}

  Maybe the turbopacket people can provide some guidance?

  I'd also like to see the extensible attribute in the file format, and 
the ability to "cat" pcap files together.
