OK, I just tried and while the bulid process *seems* to finish, there's
a failure in the middle which means that no executable is ever built:

plugin.c:54: error: syntax error before 'initialized'
plugin.c:54: warning: type defaults to 'int' in declaration of
'initialized'
plugin.c:54: error: 'FALSE' undeclared here (not in a function)
plugin.c:54: warning: data definition has no type or storage class
make[3]: *** [plugin.lo] Error 1
make[3]: Leaving directory
`/home/jmayer/work/ethereal/trunk/plugins/lua'

But maybe this is only a problem with the new lua code. Need to check
more closely when I'm back at the hotel and am finished with my regular
work.

One thing I need to check also is, why the build process continues after
an error. That is something that has been irritating me for quite a
while now - maybe the traintrip on friday will provide the time to look
into this stuff in more detail (other helpers welcome :)

We are stuck with technology when what we really want is just stuff that
works. Some say that should read Microsoft instead of technology.
