This needs some additional parts, and points to the
need for a dissector for the ident protocol, but I want to
try to automatically generate that ...

Porting and Archive Centre site.
Warn in the very beginning of that file that libpcap may not work very
well without patches. Give patches to libpcap for:
vanilla LBL libpcap 0.4
vanilla tcpdump.org libpcap 0.5
libpcap 0.4 from the HP-UX Porting and Archive Centre (which is
the only version that includes configure-script changes to work
with HP's C compiler as well as GCC)
and put them in files separate from "README.hpux" (to make it easier for
users to apply the patches).
Make those versions of the patch give a slightly different error message
if libpcap fails to find the PPA for the device, to make it easier to
figure out if the user reporting a problem with HP-UX capture has a
patched version of libpcap or not (so that we know whether the problem
may just be that they're using an unmodified libpcap, or if they're
running a patched version and that patch needs more work, e.g. to look
at devices other than just "/dev/dlpi").
Give information on how to find "patch", warn that probably only the
HP-UX Porting and Archive Centre version will work with the HP C
compiler, warn that applying a version of the patch other than the one
for the particular version of libpcap you've downloaded will probably
not work, and warn that you need to download source to libpcap in order
to do any of this in the first place.
(The current libpcap CVS tree at tcpdump.org has this patch in it, so
the next release of libpcap from tcpdump.org should have it; hopefully
the HP-UX Porting and Archive Centre will switch to that version when it
comes out, and people will just be able to push a few buttons to get an
Ethereal that works on HP-UX.)

1) aclocal expects autoconf/automake macros to be hidden;
2) GTK+ hid its autoconf/automake macros;
and, if both places exist but aren't the same directory, returns a "-I"
flag to tell aclocal to look in GTK+'s directory.
Then have "autogen.sh", and Makefiles in directories with "acinclude.m4"
files, use that script and pass what flag it supplies, if any, to
aclocal.
This should, I hope, avoid problems such as those FreeBSD systems where
GTK+ was installed from a port or package (and thus stuck its macros in
"/usr/X11R6/share/aclocal") but aclocal doesn't look there.
(It doesn't solve the problem of somebody downloading and installing,
say, libtool from source - which means it probably shows up under
"/usr/local", with its macros in "/usr/local/share/aclocal" - on a
system that comes with aclocal (meaning it probably just looks in
"/usr/share/aclocal", but that may be best fixed by, whenever you
download a source tarball for something that's part of your OS,
configuring it to install in the standard system directories and
*overwriting* your OS's version.)

<arpa/inet.h>, but is, in some fashion, declared differently from the
way we declare it in "inet_v6defs.h", but "inet_ntop()" isn't defined,
so we include "inet_v6defs.h" in "inet_pton.c", which causes
"inet_pton.c" not to compile as we get a collision between the two
declarations.
Move the declaration of "inet_aton()" to "inet_aton.h", define
"NEED_INET_ATON_H" iff we didn't find "inet_aton()" in the system
libraries, and include "inet_aton.h" in the callers of "inet_aton()" iff
"NEED_INET_ATON_H" is defined, so that it doesn't get declared by us if
"inet_aton()" is defined by a system library (which hopefully means it's
declared in <arpa/inet.h> instead).

same directory as the "manuf" file ("/etc" or "/usr/local/etc", most
likely).
Add a mechanism to allow modules (e.g., dissectors) to register
preference values, which:
can be put into the global or the user's preference file;
can be set from the command line, with arguments to the "-o"
flag;
can be set from tabs in the "Preferences" dialog box.
Use that mechanism to register the "Decode IPv4 TOS field as DiffServ
field" variable for IP as a preference.
Stuff that still needs to be done:
documenting the API for registering preferences;
documenting the "-o" values in the man page (probably needs a
flag similar to "-G", and a Perl script to turn the output into
documentation as is done with the list of field);
handling error checking for numeric values (range checking,
making sure that if the user changes the variable from the GUI
they change it to a valid numeric value);
using the callbacks to, for example, update the display when
preferences are changed (could be expensive);
panic if the user specifies a numeric value with a base other
than 10, 8, or 16.
We may also want to clean up the existing wired-in preferences not to
take effect the instant you tweak the widget, and to add an "Apply"
button to the "Preferences" dialog.

Add exceptions routines.
Convert proto_tree_add_*() routines to require tvbuff_t* argument.
Convert all dissectors to pass NULL argument ("NullTVB" macro == NULL) as
the tvbuff_t* argument to proto_tree_add_*() routines.
dissect_packet() creates a tvbuff_t, wraps the next dissect call in
a TRY block, will print "Short Frame" on the proto_tree if a BoundsError
exception is caught.
The FDDI dissector is converted to use tvbuff's.

only the dissector source files, not the header files; that way you
don't feed the header files to "make-reg-dotc", as "make-reg-dotc" won't
find any registration routines there so there's no point in feeding
header files to it.
Doing so means that we can make "DISSECTOR_OBJECTS" in "Makefile.nmake"
by doing
DISSECTOR_OBJECTS = $(DISSECTOR_SOURCES:.c=.obj)
rather than separately enumerating the object files, as Nmake supports
System V "make"-style substitution.
This should let users who change "DISSECTOR_SOURCES" in one of those
files just copy it to the other file.

register lists of "heuristic" dissectors, which are handed a
frame that may or may contain a payload for the protocol they
dissect, and that return FALSE if it's not or dissect the packet
and return TRUE if it is;
add a dissector to such a list;
go through such a list, calling each dissector until either a
dissector returns TRUE, in which case the routine returns TRUE,
or it runs out of entries in the list, in which case the routine
returns FALSE.
Have lists of heuristic dissectors for TCP and for COTP when used with
the Inactive Subset of CLNP, and add the GIOP and Yahoo Messenger
dissectors to the first list and the Sinec H1 dissector to the second
list.
Make the dissector name argument to "dissector_add()" and
"dissector_delete()" a "const char *" rarther than just a "char *".
Add "heur_dissector_add()", the routine to add a heuristic dissector to
a list of heuristic dissectors, to the set of routines we can export to
plugins through a table on platforms where dynamically-loaded code can't
call stuff in the main program, and initialize the element in the table
in question for "dissector_add()" (which we'd forgotten to do).

sub-dissector table is not stored in the header_field_info struct, but
in a separate namespace. Dissector tables are now registered by name
and not by field ID. For example:
udp_dissector_table = register_dissector_table("udp.port");
Because of this different namespace, dissector tables can have names
that are not field names. This is useful for ethertype, since multiple
fields are "ethertypes".
packet-ethertype.c replaces ethertype.c (the name was changed so that it
would be named in the same fashion as all the filenames passed to make-reg-dotc)
Although it registers no protocol or field, it registers one dissector table:
ethertype_dissector_table = register_dissector_table("ethertype");
All protocols that can be called because of an ethertype field now register
that fact with dissector_add() calls.
In this way, one dissector_table services all ethertype fields
(hf_eth_type, hf_llc_type, hf_null_etype, hf_vlan_etype)
Furthermore, the code allows for names of protocols to exist in the
etype_vals, yet a dissector for that protocol doesn't exist. The name
of the dissector is printed in COL_INFO. You're welcome, Richard. :-)
