Note that it might be useful to have the SMB stuff call a DCE RPC
decoder, with the DCE RPC decoder being usable elsewhere, so that
Ethereal could decode DCE RPC running atop something *other* than SMB.

(I don't know how painful it'd be to handle DCE RPC's "receiver makes it
right" semantics; as long as there's one field in a DCE RPC request or
reply which makes sense only when interpreted in the right byte order,
it would probably be easy.)
