Yes.  The WinDump at

        https://www.winpcap.org/windump/

is based on an old version of tcpdump.

Ultimately, there shouldn't *be* a program named "windump" - it should be called "tcpdump" even on Windows, and should 
be built from the same source on Windows as on UN*X.

I don't know whether the project files in that source tree are up-to-date; if not, we should probably update them.  We 
should also look at CMake files that work on both Windows and UN*X, as we're doing with libpcap (the libpcap CMake 
files for libpcap are still a work-in-progress, but I've used them on my Windows 7 virtual machine and I think I've 
used them on macOS as well).

Yes.
