This is a patch with ASTERIX dissector.

Build Information:

--
I am submitting a dissector for ASTERIX packets. ASTERIX
(www.eurocontrol.int/asterix) is used for transmitting radar data within air
traffic control services for all types of radar data.

There are many ASTERIX categories but I have written a dissector only for the
ones I have access to, so I was able to debug them properly too. I don't have
all radars at my disposal to have all the sample data.

I did not do the UDP reassembly because I don't have an example of
dissassembled ASTERIX packet. So again no posibility to debug.

The dissector code is written generally and ASTERIX categories are defined as
declarations of structures FieldPart and AsterixField. Adding new categories to
the dissector should introduce only new declarations of fields and their parts.
No instruction C code shall be changed. 

When some users will want to dissect ASTERIX categories not declared in
dissector I can easily add them if they send me some sample data. I could add
them also without that but testing is not possible then.

I am attaching the patch with the dissector. However, I don't know how to
attach another file to send some sample data.
