Well, Ethereal compiled with -ansi -pedantic.

However, the compiler warned about long long constants (even though we 
now require 64-bit integer support), and probably other hard-to-fix 
things, along with some things that *should* be fixed (such as casts 
that throw away "const" - I'm looking at those).

I'll see how much in the way of noise remains after cleanup.
