extracting PDUs from it and possibly doing reassembly. Make the COPS,
DNS, DSI, Gryphon, and SCCP dissectors use it.
Add "set_actual_length()", "tcp_dissect_pdus()",
"decode_boolean_bitfield()", "decode_numeric_bitfield()", and
"decode_enumerated_bitfield()" to the list of routines available to
dissectors on platforms where routines in the main program aren't
available to dynamically-loaded code.
Declare routines in "to_str.h" as "extern"; as I remember, that's
necessary to allow the "decode_XXX_bitfield()" routines declared therein
to be made available to plugins as per the above.
Note that new exported routines should be added to the end of the table
if that's the only change being made to the table.
Create a new "plugin_api_decls.h" header file, used to declare both the
"p_" variables and the "p_" structure members in the routine-exporting
mechanism; this reduces the number of places you have to change to
change the list of exported routines.

Use "proto_tree_add_item()" to add items to the protocol tree; don't
fetch to a variable if the variable isn't later used (except for the
"unknown" fields). Put fields into the protocol tree as soon as they're
fetched, so that if an exception is thrown when dissecting a packet, the
fields that didn't cause an exception get put into the protocol tree.
Fix some typos.

"epan/..." pathnames, so as to avoid collisions with header files in any
of the directories in which we look (e.g., "proto.h", as some other
package has its own "proto.h" file which it installs in the top-level
include directory).
Don't add "-I" flags to search "epan", as that's no longer necessary
(and we want includes of "epan" headers to fail if the "epan/" is left
out, so that we don't re-introduce includes lacking "epan/").

structure to the "packet_info" structure; only stuff that's permanently
stored with each frame should be in the "frame_data" structure, and the
"column_info" structure is not guaranteed to hold the column values for
that frame at all times - it was only in the "frame_data" structure so
that it could be passed to dissectors, and, as all dissectors are now
passed a pointer to a "packet_info" structure, it could just as well be
put in the "packet_info" structure.
That saves memory, by shrinking the "frame_data" structure (there's one
of those per frame), and also lets us clean up the code a bit.

take a dissector handle as an argument, rather than a pointer to a
dissector function and a protocol ID. Associate dissector handles with
dissector table entries.
