Hi List!

I've tried to put a list of authors as a notebook tab into the about 
dialog, but got some problems with this.

My idea was to use the same mechanism like the current help pages, so 
having a text file installed, which is shown be Ethereal in the dialog.

Following topics:

1. no short list of authors available.
Currently we have two list of authors, the AUTHORS file (which is a bit 
verbose, containing detailed info of the task done, too long for this 
purpose) and the smaller list of authors in doc/ethereal.pod (but this 
file contains a lot of other things as well).
Might need some sed/perl script to extract a short version of the 
AUTHORS file.
For a quick start, I've tried using the AUTHORS file in it's current form.

2. the AUTHORS file contains non utf8 characters  (e.g. line 597: Kent 
Engstr�m), which confuses the gtk output functions
Might have to apply some "utf8" filter into the output function.

3. if using the AUTHORS file for this purpose, it has to be installed by 
NSIS and other installers
Have some knowledge in NSIS no problem with it, but don't know about the 
other installers.

Anyone a good idea how to proceed?
