Hi,
The patch attached modify the default behavior of the function 
'read_filter_list' to attempt read cfilters/dfilters from the Ethereal 
data directory, in case no cfilters/dfilters are found in user's home 
directory.
With this patch you can ship Ethereal with some predefined 
capture/display filters (you obviously still need to change the 
installer script to include those files).
If you guys think it's a useful feature, can we integrate it in the 
development tree ?
