-# Build "register.c", which contains a function "register_all_protocols()"
-# that calls the register routines for all protocols.
-#
-# We do this by grepping through sources.  If that turns out to be too slow,
-# maybe we could just require every .o file to have an register routine
-# of a given name (packet-aarp.o -> proto_register_aarp, etc.).
-#
-# Formatting conventions:  The name of the proto_register_* routines must
-# start in column zero, or must be preceded only by "void " starting in
-# column zero, and must not be inside #if.
-#
-# We assume that all dissector routines are in "packet-XXX.c" files.
-#
-# For some unknown reason, having a big "for" loop in the Makefile
-# to scan all the "packet-XXX.c" files doesn't work with some "make"s;
-# they seem to pass only the first few names in the list to the shell,
-# for some reason.
-#
-# Therefore, we have a script to generate the "register.c" file.
-#
-# The first argument is the name of the file to write.
-# The second argument is the directory in which the source files live.
-# All subsequent arguments are the files to scan.
-#
-# On Windows, however, that script runs slowly, as multiple greps
-# and seds are run for each input file, so, if Python is present
-# (as indicated by PYTHON being defined), we run a faster Python
-# script to do that work instead.  That script doesn't take the name
-# of the file to write as an argument; it always writes to
-# "register.c".
