There is/was a GPL project called Packetyzer that did use the dissectors from
Wireshark (then called Ethereal, i.e. it linked to libethereal.dll). But the project seems
dead and it seems to be written in both C++ and Delphi (!). Haven't taken a closer
look. There are still some install files and sources at SourgeForge from that
project. The GUI looks very nice and fast.

Sources:
 http://packetyzer.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/packetyzer/packetyzer/
 Click ""Download GNU tarball" and get the .tar.gz file.

The mainpage is at:
