The packet-range.c stuff knows about capture_file structures; nothing 
else in libethereal does - the packet-range.c stuff arguably belongs in 
common code for Ethereal and Tethereal, rather than libethereal.  I've 
checked in a change to move it back out of libethereal, leaving the 
range.c stuff there (I'm thinking of adding a new preference type for 
ranges, so a dissector could, for example, add a preference for a *set* 
of port numbers).
