Ah, that is for the ASN.1 plugin.
That plugin is as far as i can tell a mechanism where you can compile
the ASN definition of some protocol into a "dissector" which the
plugin will load.
I have no idea on how that plugin works or how one uses it since i
only work with "real" built in dissectors for ASN.1 based protocols.
Is there no documentation or README or anything on the WIKI on how to use it?
