Hi List!

I've just committed the new command line flag -g.

This will only take effect when loading a capture file at Ethereal
startup (with -r) and jumps to the given packet then.

When debugging or implementing, I'm often stuck at a specific packet in
a specific file.

I've added this feature, to reduce amount of work to come back to that
specific place, when starting Ethereal on and on again ...

This flag might be useful for other purposes as well, so I've made it
"publically available".


If anyone has a reason to use a different character for this feature,
please let me know.

I've also added it to the manpage, the User's Guide still needs an
update ...

Regards, ULFL
