I just now checked into CVS changes that will allow you to build
tethereal and editcap without needing GTK+ installed. Thanks to Guy for
doing to code cleanup for me; I only had to deal with autoconf/automake.

The new configure script can detect if you don't have GTK+, and if you don't,
it won't build ethereal. You can enable/disable any of the 3 targets,
ethereal, tethereal, and editcap, with --enable-XXX and --disable-XXX flags
(where XXX is the target).
