Might we put the source code into a separate directory, say src?  This 
way the top-level directory is kept fairly small and all the files which 
start with a capital letter (README.*, INSTALL, FAQ, etc), that is, all 
the files you might want to read having downloaded Ethereal for the 
first time, are visible after doing an ls on a 24x80 screen.
