...although note that a Tools plugin would come in two parts - the
data-processing part and the UI part.  The UI part would be separate so
that, for example, versions could be built for more than one type of UI
(currently, Ethereal has only GTK+ 1.2[.x], but it might in the future
have some or all of GTK+ 2.x, GTK+ 1.2[.x] + Gnome 1.x, GTK+ 2.x + Gnome
2.x, KDE 2.x, MFC or some native Windows UI, curses, etc..)
