The current fragment reassembly code in "reassemble.c" should be able to
handle any form of fragment reassembly that's similar to IPv4's; both
IPv6 and CLNP fragmentation are similar, so it currently handles IPv4,
IPv6, and CLNP.

If NDS's fragmentation is similar (meaning each fragment has:

	a starting offset within the fragmented packet;

	a length;

	a "this is the last fragment" Boolean)

it should be abel to use it.
