FYI: the patch portion that applies to doc/dfilter2sgml has been modified to
work
properly against the latest dfilter2sgml in ethereal-doc, tested and
submitted to the
ethereal-doc mailing list.
The other changes in the original patch (epan/proto.c and
doc/dfilter2pod.pl)
had been tested before I submitted them and they work - please apply...
