What I mean is to use this method of registering a plugin:

old_dissector_add("tcp.port", TCP_PORT_GRYPHON, dissect_gryphon);

instead of:

DLLEXPORT const gchar filter_string[] = "tcp.port == 7000";

Of course, this will require some sort of GUI to configure.

Hmmm, does anyone use ranges in their current plugin filter expression,
like "tcp.port >= 6000 && tcp.port <= 6100"?
