You're right, that's where it should go. And for capinfos, the cmdline
options don't have to be aligned with wireshark/tshark/dumpcap ;-)

Yes.

I uploaded my patch to
https://bugs.wireshark.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=8574

Shouldn't be contentious. I'll check it in tomorrow or so unless someone
complains.

(I couldn't get capinfos to compile with USE_GOPTION defined but that's a
different story...)
