Hmmm, my two cents on Windows deployment: I've never been comfortable
with VC project files. There is way too much black magic for my liking.

I'd like to suggest that only plain text files (Makefiles, RC files,
etcetera) be required to build Ethereal on Windows, so that a simple
NMAKE invocation suffices to do a build. Visual Studio can spit those
out if it makes development easier.

Again, it's just my two cents.

Cheers,
