Hi,

Ok, time to leverage the GIOP code and idl2eth written
thus far.

In order to make available many of the standard CORBA
IDL defined services available for decode, I propose
the following naming scheme for GIOP subdissectors.


CosNaming.IDL   =>    packet-giop-cosnaming.c
CosEvent.IDL    =>    packet-giop-cosevent.c

etc..


Such that 

xxx.IDL         =>   packet-giop-xxx.[c]

This seems to follow along with such dissectors as
packet-smb-xxx.[ch] etc.

If that is ok, I will make them available next week
for inclusion in Ethereal.

/Frank..


ps:

One could adopt a different strategy, and that is
just auto generate the subdissectors during
"make" or "./autogen.sh" from standard OMG IDL's
included with Ethereal .

ie: idl2eth *.IDL (or similar)

Comments ??
