Does anybody have an idea of how to handle this in custom dissectors 
which need to be compiled in both 1.8 and trunk (without branching said 
dissectors--something I really would like to avoid)?

I'm contemplating putting a macro in packet.h like 
DISSECTORS_HAVE_DATA_PARAM and adding the appropriate #ifdef/#else logic 
in my custom dissectors.  Any objections?  Any better ideas?
