I understand the point of code coverage... However, as far as I know the stuff works only
on Windows. That's why we setup a test machine with Windows and test this with the AirPcap
devices Cace provided us. Having these devices helped a lot, but we only have them running
on Windows...

So Joerg: It makes sense to have the auto* stuff and the cmake stuff as much in line as
possible. But it would make sense to have the Airpcap stuff on by default on Windows,
and off by default on other platforms. We can leave support in for switching them on,
as this might help during development.

Best regards
