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.

epan/filesystem.c
have get_plugin_dir() calling init_plugin_dir() if necessary
epan/epan.c and epan/report_err.c
move the report_failure family into the new report_err.c file, have epan_init() calling the initializer
epan/plugins.h and epan/proto.c
do not have init_plugins() calling the proto_reg functions instead do it in init_proto()
gtk/main.c and tshark.c
init_plugin_dir() has become suprefluous
capinfos.c and editcap.c
load the wiretap plugins
Makefiles
do what's needed to build withe the above changes.

WIRESHARK_RUN_FROM_BUILD_DIRECTORY is set and, if so and we weren't run
with special privileges, set the running_in_build_directory_flag. Have
it do the same if it finds ".libs" in the pathname of the program and we
weren't run with special privileges, as that means it was probably run
from the libtool wrapper script and presumably thus isn't an installed
binary.
This means that get_credential_info() has to be called before
init_progfile_dir().
Clean up some indentation.

The U3 Deployment Guide recommends a sub-directory of U3_DEVICE_DOCUMENT_PATH, so the u3util creates a "My Captures" sub-directory to use as the personal data file directory.

fix this, by providing required functions in the new file file_util.c - it's mostly copied from GLib (g_open alike - that take UTF8 as filename format but don't use msvcrt.dll V6 for this as the glib files do)
"link" to these functions in file_util.h: #define eth_open eth_stdio_open
revert changes (from SVN 20282) throughout the code related to these file functions which were introduced with the first tries of MSVC 2005 ...
Hopefully I've done everything right with the new file_util.c ...

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.

include fails as we don't do -Iwiretap.
If we have it, include <sys/stat.h> in epan/filesystem.c - we need it
for stat() and the macros and structures it uses.
svn path=/trunk/; revision=16410
to do this, I've added file_util.h to wiretap (would file_compat.h be a better name?), and provide compat_macros like eth_open() instead of open(). While at it, move other file related things there, like #include <io.h>, definition of O_BINARY and alike, so it's all in one place.
deleted related things from config.h.win32
As of these massive changes, I'm almost certain that this will break the Unix build. I'll keep an eye on the buildbot so hopefully everything is working again soon.

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.
