I have checked in the tvbuff and exception code.
The tvbuff/exception code has been checked in.
The FDDI dissector is the only dissector that uses it so far.
All dissectors were touched in this code checkin, however, since
the proto_tree_add_*() functions were changed to require a tvbuff_t*
argument. All dissectors (except FDDI) send a NULL as this argument.
I #defined NullTVB as NULL and used NullTVB as the argument in
all the dissectors' calls to proto_tree_add_*(). This will make
search-and-replace a lot easier.

Soon (tomorrow) I'll document the exception stuff and tvbuff. For now,
those that are interested should read exceptions.h, tvbuff.h, and
dissect_packet() (in packet.c) and dissect_fddi() (in packet-fddi.c).
