OK: A few more comments:

1. As Jaap requested: Please be consistent: leading tabs or spaces;
   as well as consistent indentation.
   (There seems to be some 2 space indentation mixed in).

   Also: the source files appear to be using "4 space  tabs". This 
   doesn't really play well with editors/programs which tend to have
   tabs defined to be every 8 columns.

   I suggest converting all the tabs to (4) spaces.

2. vwr.c:  All the functions and the global variables (other than vwr_open)
   should be defined as static.

3. packet-vw-radiotap.h and packet-ethernettap.h are not needed;
   (The externs for the proto_register & proto_reg_handoff fcns
    are generated as needed as part of the automatic generation
    of the fcns which call these fcns).

4. packet-vw-radiotap.c: We prefer that the proto_register and
   proto_reg_handoff functions be at the end of the file.

5. A new wiretap reader has recently been added to Wireshark and thus
   the patches no longer apply cleanly.

   So: you'll need to update your Wireshark sources and then adjust
       wtap.h, wtap.c and file_access.c accordingly before recreating
       the patch.
