The attached patch provides editcap with several new duplicate packet removal
options (-d, -w and -W).  

These new editcap options augment the current -d option by allowing the user to
specify an alternate packet window depth (-D) or by allowing user to suppress
duplicates based on the relative arrival time to existing packets (-w and -W).

In addition the -v switch if used with any of the duplicate packet removal
options willl cause the Packet number, Packet length and MD5 hash of each
packet will be written to standard out.  This report can be used in scripts to
help identify identify duplicate packets across trace files.

This patch updates two files:
  editcap.c 
  doc/editcap.pod
