We should probably provide some mechanism to let third parties make 
their Lua scripts (and plugins?) available to the Wireshark user community.

Should they just be made part of the distribution, or should we have a 
collection of scripts on the Wireshark Web site?  (Or should the 
third-party scripts be like, for example, the *BSD ports collections, so 
they're bundled with the OS but not considered part of the core of the OS?)
