file, rather than the top-level Ethereal configuration file, check for
"inet_aton()", "inet_pton()", and "inet_ntop()". Then make its
Makefile.am include the appropriate object files if necessary.
Otherwise, they don't get built and put into libethereal, and therefore
attempts to link with anything in libethereal that uses them fail on
platforms that lack ethem, causing the build to fail.
That means a bunch of things need to be fixed to cope with libethereal
having its own "config.h" file; this means removing the include of
"config.h" from some libethereal header files. Move the definitions of
the path names used only by "resolv.c" to "resolv.c" from "resolv.h" (so
"resolv.h" doesn't need "config.h", define HAVE_PLUGINS in the configure
script (so we don't have to include it in "plugins.h" to check whether
HAVE_DLFCN_H is defined).
Unfortunately, stuff outside libethereal needs to know PLUGIN_DIR; for
now, define that in the top-level configuration file, and have Ethereal
and Tethereal pass it as an argument to "epan_init()" - that should be
cleaned up at some point.
Remove from the top-level configure script checks for things used only
in libethereal.

starting with "epan_", change the name of the library from libepan.a to
libethereal.a, and from libepan.lib to ethereal.lib.

"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"
