I've checked it in as "doc/README.developer", updated it a bit, and
merged in some information from Jeff Foster's developer's notes he sent
out in mail a while ago.

It should perhaps be merged with the "proto_tree" file in the "doc"
directory, which contains a more detailed description of the way the
routines to add stuff to the protocol tree work.

There's plenty of other stuff to be added, too, e.g. information on how
to make a plugin, and information on the other routines a dissector can
call.
