Thanks.  All your changes have been checked in.

I added to TShark a conv,ipv6 statistic, using your tap hook, and updated the Wireshark and TShark man pages to mention conv,ipv6.

Is there any reason not to have the IPv6 tap provide a structure similar to what the IPv4 tap provides, with full address structures in it?
