Checked in.

"Follow TCP stream" doesn't use the TCP reassembly code, if that's what
you mean by "is this needed for something like follow TCP stream".

However, fragmented 802.11 frames could probably be reassembled by code
similar to the IP fragment reassembly code in "packet-ip.c".

Do you have a capture with fragmented frames in it?  If so, I might be
able to look at adding fragmentation support (although I can't say
*when* I'd be able to look at it).
