Try to use the other proto_tree_add_xxx routines (e.g. proto_tree_add_item
and proto_tree_add_item_format) which enable the use of display filters
instead of proto_tree_add_text.

See <ethereal>/doc/proto_tree for more information.

And do not forget to register your fields, if you use the above mentioned
routines with the proto_register_field_array routine.
