One way:

Put the following (the stuff between the ---- lines) in a batch file
(Season to your taste).

------
setlocal
set foo=
for %%f in (*.pcap) do set foo=!foo! %%f
mergecap -w all.pcap %foo%
-------

(The above works if there are no spaces in the filenames.
  Some amount of fiddling around with quoting could probably
  be done to make a version with works with spaces in filenames).

Run the batch file in the dir with the files to be merged

** Note** cmd.exe (the Windows command line shell) needs to be invoked 
with /v:on to enable "delayed environment variable expansion".

See 'cmd /?' and 'set /?' for additional information on
delayed environment variable expansion.
