The MDI interface was discussed at SharkFest'08 is deemed a long

Currently the dissector engine model doesn't support it very well,
For example, we currently have a lot of global variables in dissectors
for state information, preference settings, etc., and those would have
to be made per-capture-file.

obstacle has to be cleared before MDI comes into view.
Whether it's implemented as MDI, or as multiple windows for multiple
captures, is another matter. (On Mac OS X, for example, it would
*definitely* be implemented as multiple windows for multiple captures.)
