If you're using Ethereal 0.10.3 or later, you can probably just use
libethereal, which we already build.  The packet dissection code and
display filtering code is already in there.

Tethereal was designed to be a program, not a shared library, so it
might not be possible, or easy, to make it work as a shared library.
