Yes, of course. You are right. My apologies. I had originally started
tweaking Makefiles when trying to add my own dissectors, because I
thought that by trying to mimic the information that other dissectors
had in those files that things might work. But then I realized that all
you really needed to do was to re-run autogen.sh. Anyway, I still had
some old .in files lying around so I forgot that I didn't actually need
them. Anyway, glad to see that the problem's been resolved. Also,
sorry for the late reply; I was out sick yesterday.

If you re-run autogen.sh, you will overwrite all the work done to
epan/dissectors/Makefile.in...
....with the results of changes made to epan/dissectors/Makefile.common.
autogen.sh causes automake to be run to generate Makefile.in files.
I.e., if you have enough tools to be able to run autogen.sh (this
includes autoconf, automake, and libtool), you *don't* need to modify
any Makefile.in files - those are generated from Makefile.am and
Makefile.common files.
And if you don't have enough tools to be able to run autogen.sh, you
might not be able to add new dissectors.
