I have an another idea.
Could not we create a new function
void add_new_data_source_reassembled(packet_info *pinfo, tvbuff_t *tvb, char *name, 
fragment_data *fd_head)
which would save to packet_info together with the new data source the list of frames used 
for its creation.
The save routine could check that list and could save all necessary frames (it should be 
save dialog option).

Any comments?
