Request for new DLT number

[Darren Reed <darren.reed () oracle com>]

I've been looking through all of the DLT decoders looking for one that has
just the DLT number in the header but I couldn't find one. Is there an 
existing
DLT that matches this description?

Otherwise, I'd like to request DLT_DLT (or something like that) be allocated
to represent a 4 byte (network order) integer value that describes the 
DLT of
the following data.

In pcap files, it would roughly translate to the following being possible:

[pcap file header, dlt = DLT_DLT]
[pcap header with time stamp]
[4 bytes, = DLT_EN10MB]
[ethernet packet]
[pcap header with time stamp]
[4 bytes, = DLT_PPP]
[ppp packet]

Yes, I understand that "next gen pcap" can do this, no I don't want to use
"next gen pcap" because that amount of change is just too big.
