OK, great.

I completely forgot about tethereal.

The rest is a proliferation of previous code, mine
was pretty much cloned from filters.c and prefs_dlg.c. ;)

Thanks for the info Guy.

Checked in, with a couple of changes:

	instead of storing the long name of a protocol in the 
"disabled_protocols" file, it saves the "filter name", i.e. the name 
that would be used in a display filter for the protocol;

	Tethereal reads the file as well, and disables protocols based on its 
contents.

I also added read error checking to it, and to the code to read the 
preferences file.
