What I'd like to do is give an option for these tunnelling protocols
to display their tunnelled data as Data, or to send the data through
the appropriate dissector. It's really just a matter of which function
they call and on which proto_tree* the parent dissector places the
child proto_tree*.

Flipping this option would require a reload of the file so that
the GtkCList info (packet summary) is updated, unless we can be
smart about it and update only what's necessary.
