My changes won't be in the 0.8.14 distribution, but in CVS, or as
you surmised, the nightly builds. Actually, "nightly build" is a misnomer,
it's a "nightly tarball of the CVS repository"

ethereal-2000-11-22.tar.gz should have the changes. When you build with
one of these tarballs, it's like building from CVS, so you have to follow
the instructions at:
http://www.ethereal.com/development.html#anoncvs
That is, make sure you have the requisite tools, and run:
./autogen.sh
This process will create the configure script and run it.

./configure should do the trick. I tried to make the configure script smart
enough to detect the absence of GTK+ by itself.
