I'm fine with these patches (why you need preference option for it?).
Still we've discussed this topic already in: "[Wireshark-core] 1.6 branch" thread,
and I'm afraid nothing was changed.
It was fun project, I no longer need it, and I'd rather drop it rather than enable (code is not so great).
We had lot (I counted 4) of GSoC students who wanted to work on packet editor stuff,
maybe we pick one next year?
