*All* FT_FRAMENUM fields refer to another packet - that's the whole
purpose of FT_FRAMENUM fields.  Are there any cases where an FT_FRAMENUM
field should *not* have that flag set?

Furthermore, the code currently requires that a field with FI_LINK set
be an FT_FRAMENUM field; is there any reason not to get rid of FI_LINK
and have *all* FT_FRAMENUM fields (and no other fields) be marked as
links?
