OK, well I decided to open a checkpoint service request about this, basically
asking them for more information regarding the IPSO tcpdump/libpcap file format.
 I understand that they are under no obligation to release any of this
information, so it's doubtful I'll receive anything.  On the other hand, it's
certain that I won't receive anything if I don't even ask for it, so I figured
I'd take a chance.  In the unlikely event that they do share some information
with me, I'll be sure to pass it along.
