It seemed to me that none of the current capture file format supported
by wiretap have sub-microsecond resolution anyway, so we don't have
anything we can read that uses the better internal resolution.


On the text2pcap timestamp bug, my colleague and I agreed that
having the year default to 1970 is probably the best bet.
When seen in the decode view, it's obviously wrong; the
current time/date (at conversion time) may not be obviously
wrong later. So here's the patch as I posted it last night.
