Since this is different from adding a ptch,

Not very different. It involves changing Makefiles (the Makefile.am and Makefile.nmake in the plugins directory) and adding a packet-*.c file. It just involves changing *different* Makefiles, adding a new directory, and adding some more files.

please let me know about the way to make this contribution.

Send it as a patch; svn diff might handle new files by putting them into the patch - but it might not, so you might also want to send the new files as well as a patch to the existing files. (Don't forget to update *both* Makefiles - Makefile.am and Makefile.nmake. It's pretty much obvious how to modify both of them.)
