Changes for Ethereal - Wireshark

[Kurt Granroth]

Curious.  Even after reading the FAQ regarding the name change, it still makes 
no sense to me.  Why -- if he is the original author AND will be using the 
same code AND it's still GPLed -- is he forking into a new project.  I don't 
see any need for a fork.

Anybody know what's going on here?
