The use of port 443 for Gadu-Gadu-over-TLS, as per

    http://osdir.com/ml/gnome.gaim.devel/2004-08/msg00015.html

is a bit odd; that port is officially assigned to HTTP-over-{SSL,TLS}, as per

    http://www.iana.org/assignments/port-numbers

Given that 443 is officially assigned to https, it's 100% inappropriate for any
other dissector to register for port 443.  Instead, we need some mechanism to
support heuristic SSL dissectors, and have the GG dissector register as a
heuristic SSL/TLS dissector on port 443.  (*All* the GG traffic over port 443,
starting with the GG_WELCOME message sent by the server to the client, is
transported over TLS, right?)

(By the way, this means that a given server can't simultaneously offer https
and GG-over-SSL, as the two servers can't both own port 443, right?)
