While linking dftest.exe with MingW:

packet-diameter.o(.text+0x48c7): In function `xmlParseFilePush':
G:/MingW32/src/inet/Ethereal-0.10.1/packet-diameter.c:286: undefined reference to `report_open_failure'

epan/ethereal.a(plugins.o)(.data+0x3e8): In function `plugins_scan_dir':
G:/MingW32/src/inet/Ethereal-0.10.1/epan/plugins.c:226: undefined reference to `report_open_failure'
epan/ethereal.a(plugins.o)(.data+0x3ec):G:/MingW32/src/inet/Ethereal-0.10.1/epan/plugins.c:226: 
undefined reference to `report_read_failure'

It's a ugly design when a static lib all of a sudden depends on modules using
it (alert_box.c which also requires GTK). I thought epan should be independant
of any GUI. I assume the fix is to not call `report_open_failure', but something 
else.
