As mentioned on the users-mailinglist1, it could be useful to have groups read access to the ringbuffer that dumpcap creates. That way, a group of people can access the capture files without having to use root access.

Set RINGBUFFER_MAX_NUM_FILES to 100000. Use it to generate file names.
Add RINGBUFFER_WARN_NUM_FILES and use it to print a warning. Print
warnings when we change the number of ringbuffer files.

If something is only supposed to be included if we have libpcap, don't
put #ifdef HAVE_LIBPCAP in it.

Add multiple-inclusion protection to capture_errs.h.

Move write routines to dumpcap.c
This is a preparation for pcapng support.

Have the ring buffer routines take a pointer to a "bytes written" count
as an argument, rather than keeping the count to themselves, so the
count kept by the capturing program can be updated correctly - including
getting reset when files are switched. Fixes bug 895....

When capturing, we only support writing to libpcap files. Given that,
bypass Wiretap; that means we don't have to run the packet through
wtap_process_pcap_packet() and then undo that conversion in Wiretap if
we're just going to write it out, shortening the code path....

Set the svn:eol-style property on all text files to "native", so that
they have LF at the end of the line on UN*X and CR/LF on Windows;
hopefully this means that if a CR/LF version is checked in on Windows,
the CRs will be stripped so that they show up only when checked out on...

Ringbuffer rework.

Almost completely rewritten in order to:

- be able to use a unlimited number of ringbuffer files

0 specified with -b argument or in the GUI, means that the number of file
  is unlimited.
else the maximum number of ring buffer files is arbitrarily set to 1024....

Make the bytes-written information from Wiretap a long, as we allow
files to get that big.

From Thomas Wittwer and Matthias Nyffenegger:

Support for "ring buffer mode", wherein there's a ring buffer of N
capture files; as each capture file reaches its maximum size (the ring...
