Take it. It should be reasonable generic (but maybe needs another
name):

/* 
 * Uncompresses a zlib compressed packet inside a tvb 
 * tvb*: the tvb; not touched in any way
 * offset: offset inside tvb
 * comprlen: length of compressed data
 * Returns a new uncompressed tvbuffer if uncompression succeeded 
 * or NULL if uncompression failed (or HAVE_LIBZ is not defined)
 */

tvbuff_t* uncompress_packet(tvbuff_t *tvb, int offset, int comprlen);

The only problems arise because there is no easy way to determine
the size of the uncompressed buffer. Currently the code takes a
(conservative?) guess that the uncompressed buffer is 9 times
larger than the compressed one. Uncompress failes if this guess
was wrong.

An alternative would be the use of inflate() and iterative memory
allocation.

Attached is a diff to make MSVC happier.
