    epan                 conversation.c conversation.h 
  Log:
  Rename the arguments and flags for the conversation routines, so as not
  to imply that
  
  	1) conversations have source and destination addresses and ports
  	   - they don't (if they did, they'd be monologues, not
  	   conversations), they just have two address/port pairs for the
  	   two endpoints, with one or more of the address or port in the
  	   second pair possibly being wildcarded;
  
  	2) the first and second address or port argument to
  	   "find_conversation()" or "try_conversation_dissector()" have
  	   anything to do with the first or second address/port pair in
  	   a conversation - they don't, the two arguments to those
  	   routines are matched against *both* address/port pairs for a
  	   conversation;
  
  as otherwise people might think that they need to add flags to wildcard
  the first arguments "conversation_new()" or "find_conversation()" (they
  don't, they just have to pass the non-wildcarded address/port first and
  then pass the wildcarded one, even if that means passing the destination
  first and source second).
