Hey,

I have commited, as svn revision 28892, an experimental new packet list using a GTK2 tree view instead of the GTK1 based CList. I discussed this with a few of the core team members and others at Sharkfest09. To use it, define NEW_PACKET_LIST when compiling all of the files. I've gone crazy with #ifdef/#ifndef blocks in many filess so far, but these can come out as the new packet list implements more of the standard features.

To try it out with gcc, set the environment variable CPPFLAGS to "-DNEW_PACKET_LIST" and re-run the configure script and then make. I'm not sure off the top of my head how to do this on Windows, but it should work there too.

Feel free to ask me questions about how it is implemented so far and to contribute to it :)

I noticed that a couple of fixes have been submitted recently to get this feature building on Windows. However, I still needed to apply the attached patch to get things rolling.
