cvs diff -u from latest source:

Checked in, with Felix's name added to "doc/ethereal.pod", the set-but-unused "gsm_map_is_invoke" variable removed, "bigbuf[]" made local to the routines that use it, and the call to "proto_is_protocol_enabled()" and the "data_handle" variable removed ("dissect_map()" is called through a handle, so if the protocol is disabled, it won't be called).

One warning:

	packet-gsm_map.c:317: warning: `Dgt_tbcd' defined but not used

Should that be used in some place, will it be used in future code, or should it be removed?

Also, should "my_decode_bitfield_value()" (which appears to be in a number of dissectors) be put into "epan/to_str.c" with a different name, "decode_bitfield_value()" changed to call it (the only difference appears to be the " = " that "decode_bitfield_value()" uses), and the dissectors with "my_decode_bitfield_value()" changed to use the version in "epan/to_str.c"?
