supporting extend 'open live capture' parametes

["Abeni Paolo" <paolo.abeni () telecomitalia it>]

hello,

I'm sorry for the long delay into posting something on the subject, but I'm currently pretty busy with my work and 
spare time is lacking. Anyway I tried to implements some of the idea discussed in the previous posts, and here is the 
result. I tried to post the patch on the mailing list, but the post was deferred due to its size, so you can find the 
patch in the sourceforge resurces:

http://sourceforge.net/tracker/download.php?group_id=53067&atid=469579&file_id=263143&aid=1876408

This is just a showcase, since I modified only the Linux related files, do not perform any testing (beside compiling it 
on my host) and there is no pcap_get_capability for now; the idea is to have the 'activete()' method to set proper 
fields (for supported extended option) into the struct pcap after the capture is activated. The whole thing is more 
than a bit intrusive since near every file needs to be modified, but it lead to a lot duplicated code removal.

Any comments are as usual very welcome.

cheers,

Paolo
