Doh, I am fool... As far as I start made dissector base on example, the
code is inside block "if (tree)". I'm totally forgot about this.
This resolve many of my problems.

So there are only one problem:
What version of python I need to build on windows ? I have win7 x86_64 with
VC++ 2k8 Express :). And build fails both python latest 2.7 and 3.2.

For 3.2 error is next:

        cd ..
        cd help
        "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio
        9.0\VC\BIN\nmake.exe" /                   -f Makefile.nmake
