IIRC there was a discussion a while ago that asn1.[hc] should not be used
any more for new projects and that one day dissectors using the old interface
should be migrated. How about adding a #warning to asn1.h telling potential
users about this?

It might go like this, but I don't know about portability
Yup, that's the problem - it's not in ANSI C. It'd have to be protected with 

	#ifdef __GNUC__

and

	#endif
and it'd only give a warning if you compiled with GCC. Perhaps some other compilers implement it and define something, so they could be added to the #ifdef.
