For which version of Wireshark?  There is no guarantee that a plugin for 1.x will work for 1.y; the only thing we 
attempt to guarantee is that a dissector for 1.x.y will work on 1.x.z.

...and wrote it for 1.6.x or the trunk.

That won't work.

If you want a dissector that works with 1.4.x, use "dissector_add_port()".

If you want a dissector that works with 1.6.x, use "dissector_add_uint()" (same routine, just a name that more 
correctly reflects what it does - the argument isn't necessarily a TCP or UDP or SCTP port number, it's just an 
integer, for example it could be an Ethernet type).
