Mergecap doesn't use anything to read or write capture files itself any more -
it uses the merge API to do all the heavy lifting.
The merge API is a wiretap API, and uses wtap_dump_fdopen_ng(), so mergecap
does, in fact, use wiretap to read and write capture files, and could write a
gzip file (as long as the output format isn't a format like Microsoft Network
Monitor format, where writing it involves seeking and rewriting part of the
file).
