Hmm,
it does not generate a prototype dissector. It only generates a prototype
for a TCP-based dissector. Maybe it would be helpful to extend this to
IP-, UDP, and SCTP based dissectors. 
Looking at the perl script I would suggest that some generic example
dissectors
are provided in the doc directory. I could provide an example for SCTP.

Best regards
Michael
