Hello,

There's 2 small issues with ethereal man page:

1. Since now ethereal.1 is made from pod2man $(srcdir)/ethereal-tmp.pod, the man title
   now displays "ETHEREAL-TMP 1" instead of "ETHEREAL 1":

man ethereal | head
ETHEREAL-TMP(1)          The Ethereal Network Analyzer         ETHEREAL-TMP(1)

NAME
       ethereal - Interactively browse network traffic

   Maybe doc/ethereal.pod should actually be doc/ethereal-tmp.pod and then in Makefiles 
   change to:
   cat ethereal-tmp.pod ../AUTHORS-SHORT > ethereal.pod

2. Since make-authors-short.pl is making AUTHORS-SHORT with all lines starting without
   space or tab, pod is treating the paragraphs as `Ordinary Paragraph' instead of 
   `Verbatim Paragraph' [check man perlpod] and misaligning:

AUTHORS
     Original Author -------- ------ Gerald Combs
     <gerald[AT]ethereal.com>

     Contributors ------------ Gilbert Ramirez
     <gram[AT]alumni.rice.edu> Hannes R. Boehm
     <hannes[AT]boehm.org> Mike Hall               <mike [AT]
[snip]

The following patch fixes #2 by prepending a space into all non empty lines.
