As mentioned in our previous discussion: it may simplify your life by moving to the last stable 1.6 release (1.6.16 if I recall correctly) and only applying extra patches on top of that. Otherwise you will just end up duplicating a lot of work that the Wireshark team already did when 1.6 series was still supported. Micro-releases within a series do not break the API and contain only security and bug fixes.
