It's not up to date. I haven't tried compiling in a long time. With minimal work,
a read-only version of Ethereal can be made. A port of libpcap is available for NT,
but I have not yet tried very hard to get ethereal to work with it. I got through
it a bit, but when I got the to portion of the capture GUI that lists interfaces, I
stopped.

Plus I'm not sure how to select a fixed width font in the win32 gtk+ port.
