make the dissector function in the sample dissector code a static
function, and to leave out the "CHECK_DISPLAY_AS_DATA()" call and the
line to set "pinfo->current_proto" in the sample dissector, as the
sample dissector is called through a dissector table, and the code to
call through a dissector table does both of those for you.

plugin is enabled -> disabled -> re-enabled due to the fact that
the protocol registration is performed at each plugin_init() call
(and there is no protocol cleanup like with dfilter_cleanup).
Now we use the proto_xxx static variable to check if it is the first
activation or not (in this case, the proto_register_xxx routines are
not called.

the following:
It is now possible to enable/disable a particular protocol decoding
(i.e. the protocol dissector is void or not). When a protocol
is disabled, it is displayed as Data and of course, all linked
sub-protocols are disabled as well.
Disabling a protocol could be interesting:
- in case of buggy dissectors
- in case of wrong heuristics
- for performance reasons
- to decode the data as another protocol (TODO)
Currently (if I am not wrong), all dissectors but NFS can be disabled
(and dissectors that do not register protocols :-)
I do not like the way the RPC sub-dissectors are disabled (in the
sub-dissectors) since this could be done in the RPC dissector itself,
knowing the sub-protocol hfinfo entry (this is why, I've not modified
the NFS one yet).
Two functions are added in proto.c :
gboolean proto_is_protocol_enabled(int n);
void proto_set_decoding(int n, gboolean enabled);
and two MACROs which can be used in dissectors:
OLD_CHECK_DISPLAY_AS_DATA(index, pd, offset, fd, tree)
CHECK_DISPLAY_AS_DATA(index, tvb, pinfo, tree)
See also the XXX in proto_dlg.c and proto.c around the new functions.

- add <stdarg.h> or <varargs.h> in snprintf.h
and remove those inclusions in the other #ifdef NEED_SNPRINTF_H codes
- remove the check of multiple inclusions in source (.c) code
(there is a bit loss of _cpp_ performance, but I prefer the gain of
code reading and maintenance; and nowadays, disk caches and VM are
correctly optimized ;-).
- protect all (well almost) header files against multiple inclusions
- add header (i.e. GPL license) in some include files
- reorganize a bit the way header files are included:
First:
#include <system_include_files>
#include <external_package_include_files (e.g. gtk, glib etc.)>
Then
#include "ethereal_include_files"
with the correct HAVE_XXX or NEED_XXX protections.
- add some HAVE_XXX checks before including some system header files
- add the same HAVE_XXX in wiretap as in ethereal
Please forgive me, if I break something (I've only compiled and regression
tested on Linux).

"proto_tree_add_item_format()" into multiple routines for different item
types, and to note that a subtree can be added under any item.

Get rid of the paragraph about C++-style comments at the beginning of
the document, as it also appears in section 1.1.1 "Comments".
Add a section on how to extract data from packets, which explains the
"pd" and "offset" arguments to a dissector, and notes that you should
not just blithely cast pointers into the packet data to 2-byte or 4-byte
integral types and dereference them, as the pointer may not be aligned,
and the field may not have the same byte order as the processor on which
Ethereal is running (in fact, it's probably *guaranteed* not to on at
least one machine, as Ethereal runs on both big-endian and little-endian
platforms...).
