Added the ability to create a read-only ethereal, i.e., one that
doesn't link with libpcap, so no packet captures can be made. The
"--disable-pcap" option has been added to the configure script. Docs
have been updated. And the string buffer size in the simple_dialog()
has been doubled so that Johan's e-mail address in the "About" dialogue
window doesn't get chopped off.
