I've merged it with Bart Braem's changes and checked it in, with some 
changes:

	I left the draft name (but fixed it to include -manet) in the 
description of the draft-perkins-manet-aodv6-01 messages;

	I applied some of the V6 fixes to the regular dissection routines.

draft-perkins-manet-aodv6-01 dates back to November 2000, and expired a 
long time ago.  RFC 3561 says

  13. IPv6 Considerations

     See [6] for detailed operation for IPv6.  The only changes to the
     protocol are that the address fields are enlarged.

[6] is

   [6]  Perkins, C., Royer, E. and S. Das, "Ad hoc on demand distance
        vector (AODV) routing for ip version 6", Work in Progress.

which appears *still* to be a work in progress, as I couldn't see any 
drafts for it.  Currently, the AODV dissector will, if the packet's 
network addresses are IPv6 addresses, dissect the packets as IPv6, with 
128-bit IPv6 addresses instead of 32-bit IPv6 addresses, but otherwise 
dissecting them the same.  Perhaps they also meant to say that the 
prefix size expanded to 7 bits, as was the case in 
draft-perkins-manet-aodv6-01.

So what *is* the current practice for AODV for IPv6?  Is it 
draft-perkins-manet-aodv6-01, or is it "RFC 3561 with 128-bit IPv6 
addresses" (and maybe 7-bit prefix sizes)?
