In order to be able to dissect libvirt protocol the wireshark plugin needs to be registered. So far this plugin registration code was generated on every build using a script that was copied over from wireshark's tools/ directory. This is suboptimal, because the way that plugins register changes across wireshark releases. Therefore, let's keep the generated file in the git, put the command line used to generate the file into a comment and remove the script. This solution allows us to put different registration mechanism into one file (under #ifdef-s) and thus compile with wider range of wireshark releases.

About
This is the project of Google Summer of Code 2013 accepted by QEMU.org and libvirt community. The goal of this project is, provide Wireshark dissector for Libvirt RPC protocol. It will provide Libvirt packet overview/detail analysing in Wireshark. Furthermore, it will be able to build(generated) from RPC protocol definition placed in Libvirt source tree to support latest protocol specification.

Installation
Run ./configure with --with-wireshark-dissector option enabled. Then dissector will compiled with libvirt itself.
Add/Remove protocol from dissector's support
Modify variable WS_DISSECTOR_PROTO_FILES in tools/wireshark/src/Makefile.am.
Changing installation directory
You can change installation directory of pluggable shared object(libvirt.so) by specifying --with-ws-plugindir=.
You can install libvirt.so into your local wireshark plugin directory:
./configure --with-wireshark-dissector \
--with-ws-plugindir=$HOME/.wireshark/plugins
