The attached patch modifies tethereal on win32 so that the -D option prints a number before each interface, and the -i option accepts the same number in
lieu of the long "/Device/Packet_..." string.  Docs also updated.

Checked in, with some changes, including making it work on UNIX as well - the current CVS version of tcpdump supports the interface numbers on UNIX (and 3.7 might do so as well).
