As some people might have been aware, a while ago I wrote some code for
tcpdump that decoded RX packets and some of the arguments to the AFS
RPC calls.  That code has been quitely bitrotting for a while.

Well, at the urging of some various people, I finally revisited
this code, dusted it off, crammed it into the latest tcpdump and
polished it to a dull glow.  I figured it's finally suitable for
external consumption.

Anyway, to make a long story short, it's now at:

/afs/transarc.com/public/afs-contrib/tools/tcpdump

Included in that directory is a README which explains a bit about how
the code works, and the actual context diff itself.

I know there were some other tcpdump patches by a Transarc employee,
but I haven't been able to find those in a long time.  Note that my
patches take a _completely_ different route; more energy has been
spent on decoding the AFS RPC calls.  I believe that my patch include
the same information as that other patch, however.

Comments, suggestions, improvements, and bug fixes are welcome.
