ldd on libwireshark suggests that it is?

$ ldd /usr/local/lib/libwireshark.so.0
..
    libwiretap.so.0 => /usr/local/lib/libwiretap.so.0 (0x00007fbb00d8c000)
..

The 'hf_register_info' will only work with a static value_string array,
correct? I'm not sure how/if they can be used with dissector tables. When would
you build the value_string?

As noted I'm not sure this is the best way to do this, although it appears to
work.

It would be nice to be able to map the frame.interface_id to the
wtap.interface_data[i]->if_name or if_description string as well, but I can't
see how to get there from here.
