The diffs were made from the latest checked out source (as of 10 minutes

Checked in, with a couple of changes:

instead of storing the long name of a protocol in the "disabled_protocols" file, it saves the "filter name", i.e. the name that would be used in a display filter for the protocol;

Tethereal reads the file as well, and disables protocols based on its contents.

I also added read error checking to it, and to the code to read the preferences file.
