Tomas,

Sometime last week I did a binary MEGACO v 2  dissector.

It took all of ~1.5 hours.  asn2eth is great!



I will fixup all x509 related protocols to use the REGISTER keyword,
thanks for adding it.


Do the ASN2ETH compiler now also register the IMPLICIT TAGS keyword 
so one does not longer need to add them by hand?
Great.


Can you also consider adding support for AUTOMATIC TAGS  which megaco
(and probably other telco protocols use as well) ?



I think AUTOMATIC TAGS works sort of like
add an implicit  [<tagnumber>] IMPLICIT  to every item
in a SEQUENCE   unless that item is a CHOICE in which case the
IMPLICIT keyword is skipped and only [<tagnumber>] is added.
