This question comes up on a regular basis on this list.  usually.  There 
is no documentation on using libwireshark's dissection API other than 
the source code and developer's documentation.  That library is not 
designed with use outside Wireshark in mind, though it is possible as 
long as GPL guidelines (under which it's licensed) are adhered to.
