that directory since 2001 and reading from that directory was only left in for
backwards compatibility with versions prior to r4702. I think it's now safe
to remove that backwards compatibility.
This eliminates the last argument of get_persconffile_path().

routines handled by epan/report_err.c.
Move copy_binary_file() in file.c to epan/filesystem.c, and rename it to
copy_file_binary_mode() (to clarify that it *can* copy text files;
arguably, *all* files are "binary" unless you're on, say, an IBM 1401
:-)). Have it use the report_err.c routines, so it works in
console-mode programs.
Clean up some comments while we're at it.

configure and use more than one set of preferences and configuration files.
This can be found in the "Configuration Profiles..." menu item from the Edit
menu, or by pressing Shift-Ctrl-A. It's also possible to start wireshark
and tshark with a named profile by using the "-C ProfileName" option.
A new status pane in the main window will show the current profile.
The configuration files currently stored in the Profiles are:
- Preferences
- Capture Filters
- Display Filters
- Coloring Rules
- Disabled Protocols
- User Accessible Tables
The recent data are by design not added to the profile.
Planned future enhancements:
- make a more convenient function to switch between profiles
- add a "clone profile" button to copy an existing profile
- make the profiles list active and accept return as OK
- save users "Decode as" in the profile
- make new, clone and deletion of profiles more secure
- make some of the recent values available in the profile
This patch also fixes:
- setting default status pane sizes
- a bug setting status pane for packets when not having main lower pane.

if set, and if the program isn't running with additional privileges,
it'll treat the directory in which the program is found as the data
directory.
If, on Windows, the version-number subdirectory of {data
directory}\plugins doesn't exist (which is assumed to mean that the
program is being run from the build directory), or if, on UN*X,
WIRESHARK_RUN_FROM_BUILD_DIRECTORY is set, the plugin directory is the
"plugins" subdirectory of the data directory, and all subdirectories of
that directory are scanned for plugins, as the "plugins" subdirectory of
the build directory contains subdirectories for the plugins; this means
that if we're running from the build directory, we'll find the plugins
we built in the build tree.
When generating the wireshark-filter man page, run tshark with
WIRESHARK_RUN_FROM_BUILD_DIRECTORY set, so it uses the plugins from the
build to generate the list of filters.

file, strip off the last component to get the pathname of the directory
containing the executable file, and save it for future use. On Windows,
you can get that from the OS, but, on UN*X, you have to look at argv[0]
and derive the absolute path from that (argv[0] is not guaranteed to be
an absolute path, or even a path at all). (In addition, if you're
running from the build directory, you might have to strip off a ".libs/"
added to argv[0] as an artifact of the libtoolizing script.)
Use that in the About dialog, and use it to construct the path of
dumpcap.
Don't put quotes into the path of dumpcap; you don't have to quote
strings with spaces in them when handing them to execvp and, in fact,
you *mustn't* quote them, as the quotes will be treated as part of the
pathname.

Win32 only: reading a pathname from an environment var requires us to read it in as unicode somehow and convert it to utf8. Using _wgetenv should work under all circumstances on NT, using getenv and g_locale_to_utf8 on Windows OT is the best we can do in this case.

one.
"get_basename()" doesn't modify its argument, and its callers don't
modify the substring pointed to by the result, so make it take a "const
char *" as an argument and return a "const char *".
"find_last_pathname_separator()" doesn't modify its argument, so make it
a "const char *" - but some of its callers pass a non-"const" "char *"
and modify the result, so don't make its return value a "const char *".
And, as none of its callers are outside "filesystem.c", make it static.
In "about_folders_page_new()", have separate variables for pathnames
returned as "const char *" (which are cached by the routine that returns
them, so you can't modify them - and can't free them, so get rid of the
commented-out "g_free()" calls for them) and pathnames returned as "char
*" (which are allocated anew for each call, and can be modified, but
have to be freed).
Clean up white space.

they have LF at the end of the line on UN*X and CR/LF on Windows;
hopefully this means that if a CR/LF version is checked in on Windows,
the CRs will be stripped so that they show up only when checked out on
Windows, not on UN*X.

"cf_write_error_message()"/"file_write_error_message()".
Use "file_open_error_message()" instead of "cf_open_error_message()" in
some places we missed in the previous checkin.
Catch ENOSPC and EDQUOT in "file_open_error_message()".
Use "file_open_error_message()" rather than "file_write_error_message()"
to report errors when creating the file to which we're saving the
"Follow TCP Stream" data.

translate UNIX errno values to a somewhat friendly message format
string.
Rename "file_open_error_message()" in "file.c" to
"cf_open_error_message()", make "cf_open_error_message()" use the new
"file_open_error_message()" for UNIX errno values, have "do_capture()"
in "capture.c" use "file_open_error_message()" to report errors from
"open()", and make "cf_open_error_message()" static as nothing outside
"file.c" uses it.
Do similar stuff in "tethereal.c".

* Added a new function get_file_in_temp() to
epan/filesystem.c. This because of asn1.dll plugin which
had code to write to a log-file "c:\temp\ethereal.log". I feel
this patch makes this safer; I don't even have a c:\temp dir.
* Patched packet-asn1.c to use get_file_in_temp().
* Added some #undef to packet-snmp.c to silence gcc.
* Changed "%u" -> "%lu" formats in util.c
Rename get_file_in_temp() to get_tempfile_path() to match other function
names.

and generates the path name; have it, if the file is to be opened for
reading on Win32, check whether it exists and, if not, check for it in
the old home directory-based configuration directory and, if so, return
that path instead, so that files saved with earlier versions of Ethereal
will be seen.

Use that routine rather than duplicating that code in the routines to
write out the preference file and filter files.
Use it in the code for the color filter dialog, so that the directory in
question is created if necessary.
As that routine returns an error indication, have the code that calls
that routine put up a message box if the attempt fails.

strings used to generate pathnames.
Move the definition of PF_DIR from <epan/epan.h> to <epan/filesystem.h>,
so that files requiring only the definition of PF_DIR don't have to
include <epan/epan.h>, and get rid of no-longer-necessary includes of
<epan/epan.h>.
Add a routine to get the directory for "system files" such as
"/etc/ethers" - it's "/etc" on UNIX, and the datafile directory on
Windows (as there's no "/etc" on Windows). Use that to construct the
pathname of the ethers and ipxnet files.

directory in which global data files are stored. If an installed binary
is being run, that's the correct directory for them; if a build-tree
binary is being run, the "manuf" file will be there, and you can put
other data files there as well, if necessary.
Do the same with plugins, except that, if there's no
"plugins\\{version}" subdirectory of that directory, fall back on the
default installation directory, so you at least have a place where you
can put plugins for use by build-tree binaries. (Should we, instead,
have the Windows build procedure create a subdirectory of the "plugins"
source directory, with the plugin version number as its name, and copy
the plugins there, so you'd use the build-tree plugin binaries?)
Move "test_for_directory()" out of "util.c" and into
"epan/filesystem.c", with the other file system access portability
wrappers and convenience routines. Fix "util.h" not to declare it - or
other routines moved to "epan/filesystem.c" a while ago.
