I think we want tools/wireshark/src/.gitignore merged to global
$(srcdir)/.gitignore.

Moreover, I've noticed a strange behavior when dissecting some strings.
Try to dissect an opening sequence. The client calls CONNECT_OPEN
function with 2 arguments:

libvirt.remote_connect_open_args.name
libvirt.remote_connect_open_args.flags

While @flags are correctly dissected, the @name isn't. For example,
while executing "virsh -c qemu+tcp:///system list" I got this:

0000   00 00 00 38 20 00 80 86 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 01  ...8 ...........
0010   00 00 00 00 00 00 00 02 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 01  ................
0020   00 00 00 0e 71 65 6d 75 3a 2f 2f 2f 73 79 73 74  ....qemu:///syst
0030   65 6d 00 00 00 00 00 00                          em......

where the @name is at 0x1c-10x1f  and @flags at 0x20-0x24. However, some
strings are still dissected correctly

And when running 'virsh domfstrim $dom' I've encountered:

[Dissector bug, protocol libvirt: proto.c:2541: failed assertion
"hfinfo->type == FT_STRING || hfinfo->type == FT_STRINGZ"]

Besides this I like this approach the most and once you solve the string
dissecting bugs I will give you my ACK.
