On an even _wider_ scale, I wonder how lucrative the market is for
customizing Ethereal for particular situations. For companies that have
proprietary protocols, I wonder how much money could be had writing
Ethereal modules for internal use. Companies with proprietary protocols
probably have good engineers that could write their own Ethereal modules,
but offering such a service would allow companies to buy a solution
rather than make a solution. Once Ethereal does defragging of IP and TCP, this
will be even more enticing to companies.
