That appears to be the convention for Mac OS X "application bundles";
if, as, and when we make a Mac OS X "application bundle" for Ethereal,
the bundle would probably be named "Ethereal.app", not "ethereal.app".

Making a Mac OS X "application bundle" would first require that we make
it a Carbon or Cocoa application, so that's not likely to happen in the
near future; I just made "Ethereal.icns" as part of an experiment
(making an application bundle out of the X11 version of Ethereal - it
didn't work), and figured I might as well check it in for future use.

That's also the convention, I think, for KDE/GNOME/freedesktop.org
.desktop files.  KDE 3.0 appears to call the desktop icon "Ethereal"
even if it's "ethereal.desktop"; I don't know what GNOME would do.
