Yes, the best option would be to have configurable columns. Sometimes I
want packet number, sometimes I want Time, sometimes I want Delta Time from
previous packet, and sometimes I want all three!

We could still use win_info[] arrays. The Time could be win_info[5], and
Delta Time could be win_info[6]. The GUI could display only certain
columns, or all columns.

But then we'd at least want some macros:

win_info[WINFO_PACKET_NUM]
win_info[WINFO_SRC]
win_info[WINFO_DST]
win_info[WINFO_PROTOCOL]
win_info[WINFO_DESCRIPTION]
win_info[WINFO_TIME]
win_info[WINFO_DTIME]

perhaps?
