Fix up various product names and descriptions in the lists of file
formats we can read; include vendor names. We should be able to read TokenPeek captures, as well as captures from the Windows versions of EtherPeek. Don't list the version numbers for EtherPeek and TokenPeek - those are file format version numbers, not program version numbers. svn path=/trunk/; revision=4599

By default, it writes the capture file in B<libpcap> format, and writes
all of the packets in both input capture files to the output file. The
