Ok, but we don't have API in libwireshark to get frame_data pointer from frame
number, I assume we don't want to have frame_data_sequence inside libwireshark?

Other way, is to put prev_dis, prev_cap as arguments of dissection, which
requires lot more work, and this way text for COL_DELTA_TIME_DIS,
COL_DELTA_TIME can't be calculated without dissection (or some hack).

Do you have any other idea?
