Hi!

Just noticed some interesting things regarding the plugins.
The xml dissector calls itself mate (in the PACKAGE setting), I've fixed this.
BTW: is the PACKAGE setting in all of the moduleinfo.h files needed at all, or should we completely remove it?
The xml dissector has version number 0.0.-1 ?!? I would think having a negative version number is a very bad idea... 
The stats_tree has version number 0.0
Both plugins were released with that version numbers in the 0.10.12 release, which again IMHO isn't a good idea.
All other plugin versions starts with 0.0.1, which seems to make much more sense than the two above.
We might start with 0.0.0 for experimental plugins. However, if they are included in the Ethereal sources, they should be made stable as soon as possible ... 

Regards, ULFL
