See the title: 
'"BROWSER" protocol registration done in smb-browse conflicts with the
"BROWSER" protocol from the pidl generated dissector'

Basically if we keep this name for the packet-smb-browse.c it prevents from
updating the packet-dcerpc-browser.c using latest version of PIDL.

It's just that packet-dcerpc-browser.c has not been regenerated from pidl for a
long time because we weren't able to regenerate anymore.

I almost completed an effort in Samba to have PIDL being able to generate
dissectors for any idl file that we have right now.
The branch for it is:
http://git.samba.org/?p=mat/samba.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/iolab2013

So this patch is a preliminary work in order to allow the regeneration of all
the pidl based dissectors.
