[Ethereal-dev] Patch for uuid strings in dcerpc dissectors

[Jean-Baptiste Marchand <Jean-Baptiste.Marchand@xxxxxx>]

Hello,

the main dcerpc dissector uses the literal string "HMMM" to store uuid
found in dcerpc packets. As a consequence, it is not possible to use
display filters to filter, for example, dcerpc packets on object uuid. 

The attached patch tries to correct this. It modifies packet-dcerpc.c
and packet-dcerpc-ndr.c, which contains the dissect_ndr_uuid_t()
function, used by conversation manager and endpoint mapper dissectors
when they need to extract uuids (dissect_ndr_uuid_t() used an empty
string instead of "HMMM"). 

Thanks to Ronnie Sahlberg for helping me on this!

The other attached patch fixes what is probably, if I understood
correctly, a typo in README.developer (the function to check is a given
column is displayed is check_col() and not col_info()).
