Yes that how it works at the moment.

Yep, but I would like to add some "core" CORBA services
anyway :-)

I will take a look at this..
Has there been prior discussions about using protocol"families".
ie: During say "autogen.sh" one can elect to
include a family of dissectors or not, based on
their relationships. Basically allowing you to 
build subsets of ethereal , tailored for  different
environments.
eg: I want the following family of dissectors only.
ethereal-core, (whatever that may be)
ethereal-giop-all
ethereal-rpc-all
Cheers / Frank..
