use of FT_PROTOCOL

[Cody Doucette <doucette () bu edu>]

I am trying to extend the XIP dissector to include a sub-protocol that
should only come after an XIP header. I want it displayed at the top-level
in the "Packet Details" pane, so adding this protocol *inside* of the XIP
dissector code seems like a good choice. I think FT_PROTOCOL will allow me
to do this.

But on the other hand, the new protocol is somewhat complicated, and for
readability would probably be better suited as its *own* dissector in a
separate file.

Is there a preferred way to proceed in this kind of case? All of the uses
of FT_PROTOCOL in dissectors that I can see appear to be fairly simple.

Thanks!
Cody
