Shawn,
If your protocol isn't very complex you can also try to prototype
it in Lua. It is a lot easier to use as you don't have to recompile
your dissector everytime you make a code change.
Starting point:
http://wiki.wireshark.org/Lua
Notes:
1 - The Windows binaries have Lua support builtin.
2 - Use Wireshark 1.2.6 as it has a couple of Lua bugs fixed
(thanks Stig!)
3 - Use Wireshark 1.3.3 if you need to concatenate 64-bit integers
(thanks Stig!)
4 - Wireshark 1.2.6 and 1.3.3 should be released today. Development
builds are available here:
1.2.6 - http://www.wireshark.org/download/prerelease/
1.3.3 - http://www.wireshark.org/download/automated/
Regards,
jpo
