Step 1: get the source to Ethereal, if you don't have it already.

Step 2: get the source to your company's DLL, and make sure it follows
*all* the rules in the "doc/README.plugins" directory, *including* the

	2 New exported constants in packet-xxx.c

	Plugins need to provide the following exported constants:

	#ifndef __ETHEREAL_STATIC__
	G_MODULE_EXPORT const gchar version[] = VERSION;
	#endif

	version       : a version number associated with the plugin.

rule.
