Yesterday or the day before I moved the http stat_trees to
packet-http.c and removed them from the plugin which nows is there
with a basic example of stats_tree.

I'll take care of that soon.

I'm currently transforming MATE to be a bytecode compiler and VM so
that the grouping and transformation logic can be described in MATE's
own language. The current grammar and logic will be kept and expanded
but the implementation will be deeply changed, the analysis phase
which is coded in C will become MATE's own bytecode (slower but much
more flexible).
Once I'm done with that, MATE will not be experimental anymore and it
will move to epan.
It will take me a while. I have the VM's core already, the key part of
the operations are already there (AVPL, AVP, basic arithmetic and
string operations, condition evaluation, and branching), the compiler
is almost complete.
Unless I change my mind again and go ahead with another "revolution"
(which is very unlikely at this point) I think that in something like
three or four months I might get it out.
