True, but changing it affects the common developer, because the version
number is in the shared library name, and when building Ethereal it has
to link with the ".lib" file with the corresponding name.

That might be one way to handle it.

Well, I'm changing it to 0.1, to avoid some of the problems people have
seen (now the problem they'll see is that Ethereal or Tethereal won't
run because the Wiretap DLL won't be found, but at least that's a more
obvious failure mode.)
