The re-write of the display filter code, along with the new
FT_* type system is going smoothly. I've put a new tarball at:

http://www.xiexie.org/ethereal/ethereal-20010130.tar.gz

It has, or should have, almost all of the functionality of
the current display filter code. All comparions should work,
all logic tests should work. It even tries to convert strings
to integers if the hfinfo has a value_string or a true_false_string.

I have not implemented the capability of testing ipv4 subnets
using the "address/netmask_bits" syntax. That's easy to add; it's just
low on my list of priorities.

More importantly, byte-slice creation (aka, ranges) do not work.
I have not yet implemented this. I will now be examining Ed Warnicke's code to
see how to fit dranges into the new display filter code.
