Thanks much for this, Alexis.  I'll have a pull request ready in short order.

Hi everyone,

I'm doing some work to add support for a new DHCP option.  I've already
added and tested code in the appropriate dissector files, but I see that
there are several files in the radius/ directory (dictionary.dhcp and
dictionary.freedhcp).  These look roughly like the dictionary files used
by freeradius, but with the possibility of compound types.  The option
I'm adding is fairly straight forward: it's a length and string.  It
doesn't get much simpler.  Should I place an entry in these files
indicating "byte string"?
For DHCP, Wireshark don't use RADIUS dicto like freeradius

You need to modify packet-bootp.c (or packet-dhcpv6.c) for add new option.
 

Apologies if this is in a FAQ somewhere.  A pointer to the answer would
be fine.

Thanks,

Eliot
