Now that subversion is in place for SCM, I've prepared a patch which moves the packet-*.[ch] files from the top-level directory to a directory named "epan/dissectors". I've changed the Makefile.nmake's, but I have no resource to test on Win32. 

Could you strip the leading packet- from the filenames while you are at it?

Is this really a good idea?
We have a lot of files with the actual dissectors (prefix packet-) and some other helper files at the same level without it.
If you remove the prefixes, you cannot distinguish between real dissectors and helper files.
But I don't know if this difference is essential, both approaches would be ok for me.
