Checked in.

Hmmm, sometimes things are really more simple than they appear :-)

I've done some extensions:
-Improve the corresponding comment on the implications why this is useful
-added a new simple_dialog text to explain what's really going on 
(simply using the WTAP truncated packet message was a bit misleading)

I've tried to provide a short but complete dialog message (and spend 
most of the time, nearly 1 hour, about this). If anyone has an even 
better (short but complete) message text or some grammatic corrections ...

Not really.

The main reason for CF_READ_ABORTED is simply when the whole Ethereal 
program is quit (as that's the origin of this enum item, I've added the 
progress bar things much later). This way is still remaining, so no need 
for any cleanup on this topic ...

Thanks for figuring out "the right way" to implement this,
