Well, registered sub-dissectors are something we need, so I say
we commit Guy's change to your initial patch (to bring your initial patch up
to date with the CVS repository), and then commit your packet-tcp.c
modifications. There's more work to be done to handle the different ways
dissectors are chained together, but your work makes great headway into the problem.
