Build Information:
N/A
--
This is an enhancement! 

Overview:
---------
Handling color filter slots from Lua scripts would be helpful to automate
coloring based on dynamically changed data. 
(Meaning: different value in each pcap file)


Modification:
-------------
New function added

set_tmp_filter(guint8 filter_slot_nr, gchar* filter_rule).

It adds a new filter rule to the given filter slot number.
(Those are the slots available under Colorize with Filter context menu.)


How to use:
-----------
Write your listener to add colors to any packets you want to color, based on
your rules.


Documentation:
--------------
None.
Attached lua script is well commented.


Attachments: 
------------
lua_api_set_tmp_filter.diff - actual diff.
sip_coloring.lua - it colorize your sip packets based on sip.Call-ID.
