Ok, i've mostly got working code together now, its sitting at
svn://slupdate.byteme.org.uk/wireshark/plugins/secondlife  (check out
with svn)

It seems to basically work and decodes packets ok but currently does
not handle zero encoded packets yet. The message template parser is as
"rough as rats" but seems to work. In fact the whole thing is a bit
rough but it basically does what i wanted it for.

If its useful to anyone, feel free to send me patches, but if any
parts (or all of it) are worth copying to the secondlife wiki then
please do so, i give my full endorsement for it or any part of it to
be submitted.

Robin
