If it parses reasonably quickly, yes.

The same place we put other configuration files of that sort, such as
the "manuf" file giving manufacturer names corresponding to various
Ethernet OUI's - in "DATAFILE_DIR"; see, for example, "epan/resolv.c":

	#define EPATH_MANUF             DATAFILE_DIR "/manuf"

Check the file into the top-level Ethereal directory, add it to the end
of "sysconf_DATA" in the top-level "Makefile.am", and add it to the
"EXTRA_DIST" macro in "Makefile.am".
