Hi. I've taken over the maintenance of tcpflow.  The new version has
support for IPv6 and VLANs. The next version will output in DFXML and be
significantly faster and more scalable.

I am happy to implement the binary output, but I do not understand its'
purpose. What is the format of the binary output? What is the advantage
of binary to XML?

Regarding the issue of simultaneous outputs to the same file --- that
can happen to the same file but not to stout. If it is useful to have
output to the same file, I can implement locking. However there is no
easy way to detect that multiple processes are outputting to the same
file, so I will need to implement this as a flag to prevent overhead.

Any thoughts?
