Actually, I don't see a need for that. Ethertypes should probably be
added to the main Ethereal tree. There's only so much stuff I'm willing
to see for proprietary plugins and I don't think keeping an ethertype
secrect justifies the additional work.

We are stuck with technology when what we really want is just stuff that
works. Some say that should read Microsoft instead of technology.
