The list of authors in the ethereal man page and html file is wrapped.
The attached patches correct that, and also correct the title in the man
page. (I changed [\s\r] to [\s] in the perl script since \s includes \r.)
This also requires the 0xefbbbf string at the top of AUTHORS to be
removed. I don't know why it's there, but if it remains there, for some
reason pod2man and pod2html continue to wrap instead of treating the
text as verbatim paragraphs.
A couple of minor points. Some of the text in the notes at the end goes
past column 80 in the man page since it's shifted to start in column 8.
Some of the email addresses aren't aligned properly. I also note that
accented characters are mangled by nroff, though I don't suppose there's
much we can do about that.
