Hmmm, I've added a dependency cvsversion.h to the ethereal.exe target 
and the other exe's where it's needed (two days ago). So if gtk/main.c 
gets generated, the cvsversion.h should already be there.

On my machine, it's generating quite well, even if I made a distclean, 
which is removing the cvsversion.h again.

But maybe I missed a dependency, and the file must be generated even 
earlier.
