1b6cc63 by Guy Harris (guy@xxxxxxxxxxxx):

    Add support for plugins to handle pcap-ng block types.
    
    We rename "file format" plugins to "libwiretap" plugins, as they can
    register as read handlers for a new file type, read/write handlers for a
    pcap-ng block type (or both).
    
    To register as a pcap-ng block type handler, in the
    register_wtap_module() routine of your plugin, call
    register_pcapng_block_type_handler() with the pcap-ng block type and
    pointers to your routines to read and write those blocks.  Those
    routines should read and write REC_TYPE_FILE_TYPE_SPECIFIC records, with
    the block type in the pseudo-header for the record in the struct
    wtap_pkthdr structure, with time stamps stored in that structure, and
    with a blob of data for the rest of the record.
    
    This is for bug 8590.
