Checked in (but with "u_char" replaced by "guint8" - at least on FreeBSD
3.4, at least some modules including that header file didn't include
headers that caused "u_char" to be defined).

Perhaps we should think about a way to generalize the
protocol-dependeint information (Ethernet type code, IP protocol code,
IPX packet type, protocol-specific data, etc.) so that we don't have to
keep adding fields to it.

Checked in.

On frame 65 of "afs.cap", the old dissector listed a bunch of arguments
to the give-up-callbacks information, but the new dissector doesn't;
does that operation take any arguments, or is the stuff after the opcode
just junk?
