Checked in (along with "epan/plugins.c", which also needs to be
updated).

ASN.1-decoded data?

Presumably that's not BER-encoded data, as none of the added routines
are needed for that (see the SNMP, Kerberos, and LDAP dissectors, all of
which decode ASN.1 BER-encoded data, and none of which create new data
sources).  They *do* need the ASN.1 routines in "asn1.c", though.

"diff -c" or "diff -u" output is better, as it can cope with the patches
being based on different versions from the current versions in CVS - and
they should be sent as attachments, so that your mail program doesn't
"helpfully" convert tabs to spaces, split lines, etc. (your mail
program did the latter, and may have done the former as well).
