For example, one installed when Ethereal was installed on the system?

If there is an old Wiretap DLL, it needs to be removed - which means
that programs that used it (such as the installed version of Ethereal)
won't work any more.

However, if you build with the current CVS version, or from the *next*
CVS snapshot, the new version of Ethereal will look for a Wiretap
library with a different version number, so you can have that version
work even with an installed version of Ethereal.  (That version might
not work right after you build it, as it'll be looking for a Wiretap
version number that's *not* installed and thus *not* in your path; you
might have to copy "wiretap\wiretap-0.1.dll" to the top-level build
directory.)
