Greetings,

The attached patch augments the epan/dissectors/packet-frame.c module to
optionally generate MD5 hashes of each packet.  These MD5 hashes are calculated
in the same manner as the MD5 hash used for duplicate packet removal by the
editcap utility.  

The ability to generate the MD5 hashes can be enabled or disabled by a new
boolean preferences option: frame.generate_md5_hash.  By default MD5 hash
generation is disabled.

To help identify frames with matching MD5 hashes this patch also includes a new
display filter: frame.md5_hash.
