So CMake is supposed to work with MSVC++ on Windows as well as with the standard build tools on UN*X.  Does Wireshark build with CMake on Windows?  In particular, does cmake/modules/FindPCAP.cmake work with WinPcap?  If not, do we want to make it work?  Note that we do some checks of WinPcap's capabilities at run time, because the Windows build of Wireshark will work with or without WinPcap - it loads the library at run time, marks capture as not possible if that fails, and looks for various functions if that succeeds, and works as best it can around the absence of newer APIs - so we might not want to do all those checks on Windows.
