Enough major changes have been introduced since the last release to
warrant bumping the minor revision.  I figure we may as well bump it to
0.99.0 in order to prepare for an impending 1.0 release.

Along with the items in http://wiki.ethereal.com/Development/Roadmap I'd
like to do the following before 1.0:

  - Finalize dumpcap - Ulf, I'm not sure how much work is left, but is
    dumpcap in good enough shape for a security audit?  If so, we could
    make it set{u|g}id on platforms that need it.

  - Smooth out the Windows file dialogs: The "Filter" button doesn't
    work, for instance.

  - Improve our packages:
    - Polish the RPM spec file.  (The last time I tried to build the
      SRPM under SUSE, it failed.)
    - Move the Solaris package to GLib/GTK+ 2.x.
    - Add a Mac package.

  - Fix the annoying display-filter-stalls-due-to-hostname-lookup bug.

  - Add version checking to the Help menu, similar to Firefox and other
    apps?

  - Designate a set of dissectors as "known safe"?
