Thanks. Since our last discussion, the code for loadable module
support has been added to Ethereal (in our CVS repository).

What I'd like to do, if you don't mind, is provide the gryphon
dissector in the Ethereal release, but as a loadable module. This
serves two purposes: 1) only those people that need the gryphon dissector
need to load it, and 2) it serves as a really good example of how
to use loadable modules with Ethereal.
