Wireshark code to avoid such dependencies.
One possibility would be to have dissector_add() fail rather than
aborting if the dissector table isn't found.
An option to force an abort (e.g., a command-line option) might be
useful during development, to catch typoes in dissector table names.
So I will probably have to comment a lot of those call to suppress the
dependencies. My patch might be bigger than I expected, I hope the wiki
allows to upload files.
It does (that's how capture files are added, for example), but I don't
know if it has a file size limitation.
