So, I want to do it more automatically then manual. This was done in 1-2. I do
not want to hack Wireshark every time when I want to do some changes in
dissectors (many small changes and build them sequentially: change, compile,
check; change, compile, check...). This is very user-friendly (developer-only)
solution. Why do not provide to Wireshark one more helpful solution?

Linking .so in Wireshark should be slow too. Let me see... libdissectors.a = 50
MiB... big.

I am agree, but personally I like to have all dissectors in one Wireshark (and
many Wireshark instances). (even DBus packets over Bluetooth never happen :))

No, no... Please do not do that :)

Nice idea.
I do not see any conflicts with Wireshark politics in patches 1-2, so I want to
convince to integrate it. An please remember. These changes are minor, so does
not change anything important. Please do not think about "separation" like
"exclude". Thanks.
