  Modified files:
    doc                  Makefile ethereal.pod.template 
  Log:
  Have Ethereal, when invoked as "ethereal-dump-fields", dump out a
  glossary of display filter symbols, just as it does with "-G", except
  that, as it can discover that it was so invoked before even looking at
  the command-line arguments, it needn't even bother calling "gtk_init()"
  to process those command-line arguments GTK+ cares about, and thus
  needn't do any X stuff at all when so invoked.
  
  That allows Ethereal to be built in an environment where you don't have
  an X server, and, if your connection to your X server is slow, allows
  you to built it faster.
  
  Get rid of the "-G" flag, as it had only a somewhat specialized use.
