I made the changes from RTT to SRT in revision 36297 and updated the applicable
man pages.  The only mention of the -z option in the user guide says the
following, so I didn't bother to update it for RTT -> SRT changes:

-z <statistics-string>
    Get Wireshark to collect various types of statistics and display the result
in a window that updates in semi-real time. XXX - add more details here! 

I added a mention about this to the Roadmap page:
http://wiki.wireshark.org/Development/Roadmap under "Completed Tasks".  I assume
the release notes file gets updated by Gerald when the next release is made?

@Sake, as for the remarks being superfluous, they're not.  Thanks for the
reminder.  Let me know if I missed some other documentation somewhere.  Thanks.
