Wireshark · Wireshark-dev: [Wireshark-dev] Huge command-line in tools/make-dissector-reg.py

[Gisle Vanem <gvanem@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm running into problems with the huge command-line passed to my shell in 
generating register.c (I'm using a home-made build-system for the MSVC version 
of Wireshark ... based on Mingw-make/Msys sh). So can you please accept this 
patch to use a response-file in tools/make-dissector-reg.py?
