How to replace proto_tree_add_text()

[Michael Lum <michael.lum () starsolutions com>]

I ran the checkAPIs.pl script against the files I have modified and it complains about a lot of proto_tree_add_text() 
calls.

I would like to fix them but after looking at the README.dissector document I'm left wondering if there is an easier way
than using proto_tree_add_item.

The places in the dissector where add_text() is used were for labelling parts of the protocol without having to create
filterable fields.

For example, in packet-ansi_a.c there are 457 useless add_text() calls vs 26 add_<something else>() calls.

Do I have to add 457 items (approximately, some may duplicate) to hf_register_info ?

Basically, I want to just label a bunch of bits or octets, no subtree, not filterable.

Thanks for you help.
