referring to a GString containing an error message on failure, and don't
have it print anything on failure.
If it fails, have its Tethereal-tap callers print an error message
before exiting, and have its Ethereal callers pop up a dialog box with
the error (except in cases where the failure is guaranteed not to be the
user's fault, and where we exit, in which case we just print an error
message before we exit). In all cases, the error message includes the
text of the GString.
Fix a scanf format string in the DCE RPC statistics Ethereal tap, so
that it properly skips the comma before the filter string.
Fix some Ethereal error messages not to say "tethereal".

item.
Convert all Ethereal (GUI) taps to use "register_tap_menu_item()" rather
than having hardcoded menu items in "gtk/menu.c".
svn path=/trunk/; revision=7541
registration routines, for taps with menu items (taps that can be run
from the "Tools->Statistics" menu), create the menu item for the tap.
"make-tapreg-dotc" constructs a "register_all_tap_menus()" function that
calls all the tap menu item registration routines it finds, and Ethereal
calls that routine after the main window has been constructed (so that
the main menu exists, as the menu items are added to it). (Tethereal
doesn't call it.)
Get rid of the "menu" and "menu_init" arguments to
"register_ethereal_tap"; the menu item is registered in the tap's menu
item registration routine, not in its main registration routine.
Have the RTP GUI tap register its menu item that way, rather than by
having it compiled into "gtk/menu.c". (We're not ready yet to have taps
whose menu items are under a submenu register themselves in that
fashion, as "register_tap_menu_item()" can't yet create submenus.)

This adds functions to register the command line arguments to use the API in the same way as is done for tethereal.
Later it may be extended to also register the GUI/Menu entry point to ethereal using this api but that iwll be later since the changes required to menu.c are not as intrusive as the main.c command line parsing ones were.
Some of the latest changes (before this checkin) has made ethereal to produce lots of GTK errors when starting up the extension windows.
They were there before this checking but will be investigated.

Gtk1 is still single threaded so if the tap extensions need to do something
time consuming or cpu intensive, then the main application will suffer.
It is better than nothing.
