I think it would be a nice if etherape would accept XML'ized 
data stream on a socket. So ethereal could invoke the program
and send the data stream...

<packet number="1">
  <ethernet>00:c0:4f:6b:9f:e0 00:c0:4f:30:20:11</ethernet>
   <ip>192.168.44.1 192.168.68.1</ip>
</packet>

or more verbose:

<packet number="1">
  <ethernet>
     <source> 00:c0:4f:6b:9f:e0 </source>
     <destination> 00:c0:4f:30:20:11 </destination>
  </ethernet>
   <ip>
     <source> 192.168.44.1 </source>
     <destination> 192.168.68.1 </destination>
   </ip>
</packet>
