Thanks. I have applied them to CVS.

One of the reasons I started working on Ethereal was to debug
communications to our token-ring Axis print servers; that's why
00:02:31 is in there. I have some year-old traces showing
a bug in the TCP/IP stack of the Axis 660 and 670 if you're
interested. The bug appears when sending large jobs
from NT, AIX, or Linux, if you're interested. The Axis help
desk never helped me too much. But I don't deal with print servers
any more.

I put a "DANGEROUS!!!' comment in configure help message.

Thanks. I also changed the comment in autogen.sh to say that
the minimum required version of libtool is 1.3.3. Do you happen
to know what the real minimum version is?

Great. Thanks for bringing that to my attention.
