The best way is probably to add mate to the standard build process and
to the installer. The buildbot will then build it and you will be able
to download the whole installer with the plugin.



I thought of it, but there are few things I like to fix before that:

+ there are still some crashes (some I could fix very soon) when the
configuration is not correct, which is not an obstacle for a build
I thought of giving mate its own section in the installer. The section can be configured to be deactivated by default. Thus everybody can decide on their own to install mate and it won't be installed if someone just uses the default values. (Of course, the standard windows user will install everything, even if it is "experimental", "alpha" or "closed source") 


+ when not configured mate is noisy so when making ethereal-filter.4
the buid says:
  ** (process:29251): WARNING **: Error Loading LoAL from file: at
line: 0, Cannot Open file 'config.mate'

  ** (process:29251): WARNING **: mate: could not load 'config.mate'
This is currently not a problem in a MSVC build, as tethereal doesn't load the plugins when ethereal-filter.html is build. The makefile script would have to copy the plugins to an appropriate location before calling "tethereal -G".
