Checked in.

Note that patches should be sent as "diff -c" or "diff -u" output,
rather than plain "diff" output, as that makes it possibly to apply
patches even if the code has had other changes made after the patch was
generated.

Developers: *please* read the "Portability" section of the
"doc/README.developer" document, and avoid doing the things it tells you
to do, e.g.

	Don't use C++-style comments (comments beginning with "//" and running
	to the end of the line); Ethereal's dissectors are written in C, and
	thus run through C rather than C++ compilers, and not all C compilers
	support C++-style comments (GCC does, but IBM's C compiler for AIX, for
	example, doesn't do so by default).
