I guess I am trying to say that (IMO) its better for the forthcoming
release to keep giop and idl2eth using "normal" dissectors, so
end users can make use of it , then after the release, do the 
plugin thing ? I promise not to pollute the src tree with
giop subdissectors until we get the plugin thing happening after
the 0.8.19 release  this week :-)

I will however try to sneek in the USER exception code in the
next 2 days .

End users are using idl2eth now, and I just dont want to break anything
for an official release.
