Why is COL_INFO set using col_add_fstr, but address columns (like
COL_DEF_SRC) set using SET_ADDRESS(&pinfo->...)?

I have a higher level protocol (sits above UDP) that has its own
addressing scheme. I wanted to modify the address column to display more
useful information. After trying col_add_fstr on COL_DEF_SRC and meeting
with failure, I started looking through the source. It looks like it
can't be done without defining a new AT_* type. This is a simple
in-house plugin that currently builds without modifying the Ethereal
source. I'd like to keep it that way. Can this be done any other way?

Thanks,
Shaun
