It would be nice to be able to split each dissector into two source
files... one with the actual dissector code, and one with the
registration/cross-reference logic.

All the cross-reference logic is loaded into Wireshark at run-time.
Only when protocols are actually seen in a file does the dissector
code for that protocol get dynamically loaded.
