One thing I've wanted to write for a while: The attached script checkhf.pl
tries to find out which hf_ variables are used inside a dissector but never
added to the hf_register_info array. It's far from perfect (lots of false
alarms) but some of the finds are real.  Put the script into the dissectors
directory and run "./checkhf.pl packet-*.c | grep ^NO" to find possibly
missing entries. Without the grep it will also report potentially unused 
array entries as well. You may give only one filename as well of course
(e.g. packet-afs.c).  Should this script be put into the tools/ directory?

 Ciao

We are stuck with technology when what we really want is just stuff that
works. Some say that should read Microsoft instead of technology.
