Because there is not necessarily a single item to which "this page"
refers - is it the WinDump 2.2 page, the 2.3 page, or the 3.0 alpha page
(or the 3.0 page when 3.0 comes out)?
The set of capture filters supported by libpcap changes over time, as
new capabilities are added; bundling some *particular* version with
Ethereal runs the risk of either
1) documenting stuff that some users won't be able to use
because they have too old a version of WinPcap
or
2) not documenting stuff that some users *will* be able to use
because they have a newer version of WinPcap.

It is referred to by the man page; I don't know if there's any way to
force a link in the "SEE ALSO" section to go to a particular URL. (Note
that
http://windump.polito.it/docs/manual.htm
would document the stuff that particular version does, as per the
above.)
