I will send you his e-mail address in a separate mail. 
I asked him for the patch several months ago and got it from him almost immediately. 
The patch I got was for Ethereal version 0.9.10.
However I haven't had time to experiment with it yet. 
I think that it could be useful to have such a feature integrated into Ethereal in some way. 

Currently I use tethereal with the "-z proto,colinfo" option when I need to export some specific fields to spreadsheet or database
(but then you normally need some script or program to get the data into the right format).
