On Windows, put the ".ethereal" directory under the user profile
directory rather than the home directory.
Update the documentation to reflect that, and to fix other out-of-date
information, as well as some typos.

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.

".ethereal" directory is under it; get rid of "get_home_dir()", and put
its code inside "get_persconffile_dir()". (The personal configuration
file directory may move, on Windows, to the user's profile directory.)

reside. Use it, rather than concatenating the user's home directory and
".ethereal" in a number of files.
Fix up some additional places to use G_DIR_SEPARATOR_S as the pathname
separator.

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.

"find_last_pathname_separator()" on Win32; move the other pathname
manipulation routines from "util.c" into "epan/filesystem.c".
Remove from "util.h" the declarations of routines not defined in
"util.c", and put them into "epan/filesystem.h" if they're not already
there.
Adjust #includes to make the above work.
