This function is also very small, so small that teh overhead for the actual function call and return is likely to be a significant part
of its execution time.
change it into a macro and make it thus slightly faster by eliminating the function call overhead.

any previously-allocated version first, so that they don't leak memory.
From Olivier Biot: add a "proto_item_append_string()" routine, to append
to the string value a protocol tree item has.

Besides "STRING", there is now "UNPARSED_STRING", where the distinction
is that "STRING" was a double-quoted string and "UNPARSED_STRING" is just
a sequence of characters that the scanner didn't know how to scan/parse,
so it's up to the Ftype to parse it.
This gives us more flexibility and prepares the dfilter parsing engine
for the upcoming addition of the "contains" operator.
In the process of doing this, I also re-did the double-quoted string
support in the scanner, so that instead of the naively-simple support we
used to have, double-quoted strings now can have embedded dobule-quotes,
embedded octal sequences, and embedded hexadecimal sequences:
"\"" embedded double-quote
"\110" embedded octal
"\x48" embedded hex
Enhance the dfilter unit test script to be able to run a single collection
of tests instead of having to run all of them all the time.

of their value. Provide such a method for FT_BYTES, FT_UINT_BYTES,
and FT_ETHER. Have proto_alloc_dfilter_string() use the new methods.
This is part of a movement of ftype-related code out of proto.c and
into the ftype code. The immediate effect is that generated display
filters for long byte sequences don't incorrectly have trailing periods
("...") to indicate continuation.

other should perhaps be used, so we leave the _U_ out so that the
warnings serve as a reminder to check those).

function that computes the natural logarithm of a double. Using it as
the name of a pointer to a routine to do logging can cause namespace
collisions; in fact, it *does* cause them on AIX. Rename the function
argument to "logfunc".

into epan/ftypes.
Re-write display filter routines using Lemon parser instead of yacc.
Besides using a different tool, the new grammar is much simpler, while
the display filter engine itself is more powerful and more easily extended.
Add dftest executable, to test display filter "bytecode" generation.
Add option to "configure" to build dftest or randpkt, both of which are not
built by default.
Implement Ed Warnicke's ideas about dranges in the new display filter and
ftype code.
Remove type FT_TEXT_ONLY in favor of FT_NONE, and have protocols registered
as FT_PROTOCOL. Thus, FT_NONE is used only for simple labels in the proto tree,
while FT_PROTOCOL is used for protocols. This was necessary for being
able to make byte slices (ranges) out of protocols, like "frame[0:3]"
Win32 Makefile.nmake's will be added tonight.
