NetFlow support #29

Would be more than great to see netflow support here. Maybe it's generally a good idea to use the wireshark/tshark dissectors for deep packet analyzing, like on netflow packets. :-)

I really wanted node_pcap to decode packets using pure JavaScript, because I hope it makes packets and networking a lot more accessible to people that don't know C.

That said, it'd be really cool to have netflow support in node_pcap. I imagine that someone could come up with a JS decoder pretty easily after looking at the wireshark one.
