A restructuring would be nice.  Especially moving packet-*

Should a directory ./frontends/ be made? Currently, there are 3 front ends (gtk, gtk2, and tethereal). That would then give a natural place for taps that work for specific front ends. front end independent taps could be ./epan/tap/

Hi all,

With the tons of available protocol dissectors and taps today,
we should envisage the following:
* Move packet dissection code to ./packet/
* Move tap code to ./tap/
* Move strncmp.c and other "generic" code (Adler32 etc) to other directory
(epan?)
