Wireshark · Ethereal-dev: [Ethereal-dev] TDS dissector - any idea why it's not dissecting TCP/1433 by default?

[Yaniv Kaul <ykaul@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

From packet-tds.c:

void
proto_reg_handoff_tds(void)
{
       /* dissector_add("tcp.port", 1433, dissect_tds,
           proto_tds); */
       heur_dissector_add("tcp", dissect_tds_tcp_heur, proto_tds);
...

It's nice that it does heuristics, but any idea why the previous line is 
commented?
Perhaps it should be an option, to either do it on fixed ports (1433, 
2433) or by heuristics?

Of course, I can't compile Ethereal and change it for myself on my 
Windows machine.
In fact, I can't remember when was the last time I could...
Right now the problem is:
NMAKE : fatal error U1073: don't know how to make 'adler32.obj'

I wonder if we could add to the check-in process a successful 
compilation test, and reject check-ins that fail it
