Yes, for now it can be #ifdef'ed out, but I think the info presented

What is that information?
Is it something very specific to an ASN.1 BER dissector, or is it something that might be of use in other dissectors? If the latter, perhaps there should be a way for a dissector to construct a data structure and have core Ethereal GUI code display it (and perhaps have Tethereal show it in some fashion). That's what we do now with protocol trees and preferences (and what I'd like us to do at some point for a number of the statistics constructed by taps).
