I have noticed problems like these before and have at all times been 
able to resolve them by removing libethereal.dll that reside in the top 
level development directory. There is yet another libethereal.dll in 
./epan (the one that you just rebuilt). I have however not had the time 
to check when libethereal.dll is created (or perhaps copied) to the top 
development directory.
