Full ack...
I been thinking that this dissector needs rewriting since the very first time I
got my hands into it.

An LR parser would be inadequate for wireshark's way to dissect. I thought in
integrating one time ago but dropped the idea as I deemed it unfeasable.

When writing the XML dissector I wrote a parsing library with some of the
capabilities that a parser for a BNF encoding needs. tvbparse.h is the header
the only user so far is the packet-xml which btw is a horribly complex monster
almost impossible to understand (even for me).

Converting the IETF MEGACO ABNF description into something that that library
can use should be relatively easy, but there's a lot of work to be done for it.
