With the filter speed improvement patches to proto.c (Didier/Ronnie
Sahlberg), external dissector-plugins have become binary-incompatible
because of the changes to proto.h structures.
Of course, there wont be any warning box shown, but the plugin will just
fail with decoding and crash Ethereal.
Can we come up with some means to warn the user about this binary
incompatibility between 0.10.10 and upcoming version?
