So that was only two years ago ;-) Unbelievable.

Googling a bit showed

http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.network.wireshark.devel/22203
which gives pretty much the history of this script. It was (more than)
inspired by
https://nplab.fh-muenster.de/groups/wiki/wiki/fb7a4/Building_Wireshark_on_SnowLeopard.html

So the foundation of this script was written by Irene Rüngeler. I only
improved on that.

We are stuck with technology when what we really want is just stuff that
works. Some say that should read Microsoft instead of technology.
