Has anyone ever considered building register.c by snooping through the 
object files using objdump or readelf instead of scanning all the source 
files? It seems like it could potentially be more efficient and/or 
better handle dependencies.

Building register.c seems to be the biggest single step in a quick 
recompile of a single dissector and I'm curious if it's worth 
investigating alternate techniques for constructing register.c

Just a thought,
