cd wireshark/epan/dissectors/
grep -L register_dissector *.c | wc -l

=> 578 entries.

45% of dissectors.

Some have maybe good reason, nevertheless most of the missing declaration are
probably related to the fact that it is not so obvious that the dissector won't
be available in LUA if this call is not done.

Would it be possible when registering all protocol to make a check and in case
protocol are not registered by name to do so ?
