Documentation often lags development; I put "tvb_set_reported_length()"
for the purpose for which I assume you added the call to it (so that,
for example, a protocol that runs atop Ethernet, such as IP, and that
has its own notion of the length of a packet can set the length of the
packet it was handed to conform to its notion, allowing the Ethernet
dissector to know how much of the packet was trailer), but haven't yet
updated "README.developer".  I'll do that at some point.

Checked in.
