The main driving force for this was my new Decode As functionality (https://bugs.wireshark.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=9450) that wants a dissector/subdissector table relationship for all dissectors wanting to use Decode As functionality. The ethertype() function provides the value to the "ethertype" subdissector table, so I think it should be matched to a dissector. Only odd side effect is the display filter of "ethertype" returns no packets because there is no "item" associated with the dissector.

not finding it, I finally found it in column_info.h
Renamed column_info.h to column-info.h to have consistency
with the column*h files.

should be freed when it is destroyed. This requires splitting packet_init in
two: the hash table which must be created before protocol registration, and the
caching of common protocol handles, which must happen after registration.

byte view.
Move the packet_char_enc enum from packet.h to frame_data.h. Make the
encoding flag a packet_char_enc and make it one bit.
Get rid of the "cfile" global in a few places. C++-ize some of the font
code. Clean up some variable names.

make Save-As/Displayed/All-Packets save not only the displayed packets but
also any other packets needed (e.g., for reassembly) to fully dissect the
displayed packets.
This works only for the "All packets" case; choosing only the Selected packet,
the Marked packets, or a range of packets would require actually storing which
packets depend on which (too much memory) or going through the packet list many
times (too slow). Also, this behavior is always the case: you can't save the
displayed packets without their dependencies (I don't see why this would be
desirable).
So far this is done for SCTP and things using the reassembly routines (TCP has
been tested).
The Win32 dialog was modified but hasn't been tested yet.
One confusing aspect of the UI is that the Displayed count in the Save-As
dialog does not match the number of displayed packets. (I tried renaming the
button "Displayed + Dependencies" but it looked too big.) The tooltip tries
to explain this and the fact that this works only in the All-Packets case;
suggestions for improvement are welcome.
Implementation details:
Dissectors (or the reassembly code) can list frames which were needed to
build the current frame's tree. If the current frame passes the display
filter then each listed frame is marked as "depended upon" (this takes up the
last free frame_data flag).
When performing a Save-As/Displayed/All-Packets then choose packets which
passed the dfilter _or_ are depended upon.

keys to have _uint in their names, to match the routines that handle
dissector tables with string keys. (Using _port can confuse people into
thinking they're intended solely for use with TCP/UDP/etc. ports when,
in fact, they work better for things such as Ethernet types, where the
binding of particular values to particular protocols are a lot
stronger.)

the data source does not need to be allocated if (!tree).
Rev 30158 took the if (!tree) check out indicating that the check was invalid.
So: (since packet_add_new_data_source() now only calls add_new_data_source()),
remove packet_add_new_data_source().

From me: Fix a number of instances where the function prototype or
the function definition wasn't changed so there was a mismatch
thus causing Windows (but not gcc) compilation errors.

1) The tvb + name (aka. data_source) is only used when the protocol tree is visible
The current implementation of add_new_data_source() doesn't take this into account and simply allocates a data_source regardless. This is what packet_add_new_data_source() tries to rectify.
A couple of dissectors have already been switched over to the new packet_add_new_data_source(). Many are still missing. Help appreciated!

This patch optimizes the data source name processing in add_new_data_source()
by delaying it. We now simply store the constant string and lazily compute the
name when needed. This gives a performance boost because we only need the name
if we have multiple data sources.
