protocols, in addition to adding structures to the list of filterable
fields. Give it an extra argument that specifies a "short name" for the
protocol, for use in such places as
pinfo->current_proto;
the dialog box for constructing filters;
the preferences tab for the protocol;
and so on (although we're not yet using it in all those places).
Make the preference name that appears in the preferences file and the
command line for the DIAMETER protocol "diameter", not "Diameter"; the
convention is that the name in question be all-lower-case.
Make some routines and variables that aren't exported static.
Update a comment in the ICP dissector to make it clear that the
dissector won't see fragments other than the first fragment of a
fragmented datagram.

or "[Malformed Frame]" to the Info column.
Make some dissectors set the Protocol column and clear the Info column
before fetching anything from the tvbuff they were handed, so that if
the frame is short or malformed, it'll be marked as being the right
top-level protocol, and the Info column won't have cruft left over from
the previous protocol.

dissect_fddi_not_bitswapped() and dissect_fddi_bitswapped(), both of which
use the standard 3-argument tvbuffified-dissector argument list.
Add a dissector table called "wtap_encap" which is used to call dissectors
from dissect_frame(). The switch() statement from this top-level dissector
is removed.
The link-layer dissectors register themselves with the "wtap_encap"
dissector table. The dissectors are now static where possible.

Add in stuff for a bunch of libpcap formats either in libpcap 0.5.2 or
in the current CVS version; we don't implement all of them in
Ethereal/Wiretap (those are "#if 0"ed out), but we do implement the IEEE
802.11 stuff (which isn't yet in libpcap or tcpdump, but the CVS version
of libpcap *does* reserve 105 as the encapsulation type number for
802.11).

"top-level" dissectors that libepan-users call, instead of dissect_packet().
The epan_dissect_t holds the tvbuff after dissection so that the tvbuff's
memory is not cleared until after the proto_tree is freed. (I might stuff
the proto_tree into the epan_dissect_t, too).
What remains of dissect_packet() in packet.c handles the tvbuff initialiation.
The real meat of dissect_packet() is now in dissect_frame(), in packet-frame.c
This means that "packet.c" is no longer a dissector, os it is no longer
passed to make-reg-dotc.
Once dissect_fddi() gets two wrapper functions (dissect_fddi_swapped()
and dissect_fddi_nonswapped()), the a dissector handoff routine could
be used instead of the switch statement in dissect_frame(). I'd register
a field like "wtap.encap"
