New dissector between existing protocols

Hi all!

I have to implement a new dissector that goes between TCP and RTPS. The
name is not decided yet so let's call it XXX. I wonder, what is the best
way to proceed here:

1) Currently, RTPS is already registered with UDP and TCP. Register it also
with XXX. I don't know what steps do I need to do in the XXX dissector to
let other dissectors listen to this one...

2) Do an #include packet-rtps.h in the packet-xxx.c dissector and call the
function dissect_rtps with its parameters.

3) Other approach that I am not aware of but you consider right.

Please, in case the proper way to do things is number one, can you point me
to any example or documentation? I am planning to provide this to the
Wireshark community and I want to make it correctly.

If you need any extra information, please let me know it.

Thanks,
Juanjo Martin
