Wireshark · Ethereal-dev: [Ethereal-dev] Minor typos

["Gisle Vanem" <giva@xxxxxxxxx>]

Some typos in the doc/*.pod files.

Not sure about the lack of hyphenation;
should that be "time-stamp" (not "timestamp) and
"multi-cast", "filter-string" etc?

BTW. "Filterable" doesn't sound right. There must be a better
word for this.
