Hello all,

I'd like to move all files, which are still in /trunk but linked into libethereal.dll, to /trunk/epan. It would allow me to do some cleanups in some make- and sourcefiles.

I've just moved h255-persistentdata.[ch] to epan, as there are only a few dependencies for this file. Only packet-h225.c includes it.

The remaining files have probably some more dependencies, and I'd like to ask, if it is OK for anybody to move them. The files are:
asn1.[ch]
follow.[ch]
ptvcursor.[ch]
reassemble.[ch]
xmlstub.[ch]

Sounds like a good idea to me, although I don't know these files very much.

I would also prefer to have a more clean solution for the makefiles as they are somewhat bogus at some places. If you need help with Makefile.nmake, let me see what I can do (however, I don't know a lot about GNU make, so won't be much help there).

You might consider moving the complete plugins directory too, as it should reside in /epan/plugins (which I would prefer in respect to MATE, which isn't a "classical" dissector) or /epan/dissectors/plugins.

However, until anyone else plays a veto for whatever reason, just go on.
