Compiled (32-bit) with GLib 2.22.4, with WinPcap (version unknown), with libz
1.2.3, without POSIX capabilities, without libpcre, with SMI 0.4.8, with c-ares
1.7.1, with Lua 5.1, without Python, with GnuTLS 2.8.5, with Gcrypt 1.4.5, with
MIT Kerberos, with GeoIP.

Running on Windows XP Service Pack 3, build 2600, with WinPcap version 4.1.1
(packet.dll version 4.1.0.1753), based on libpcap version 1.0 branch 1_0_rel0b

The following Lua error is reported by tshark (and Wireshark within a pop-up)
when run from the Windows build folder:

> Lua: syntax error during precompilation of `C:\projects\wireshark\wireshark-gtk2\init.lua':
> [string "C:\projects\wireshark\wireshark-gtk2\init.lua"]:280: 'end' expected (to close 'if' at line 31) near '<eof>'

If this init.lua file is deleted then both tshark and wireshark can be started
from the build folder without any compliants.   When 'nmake -f Makefile.name
all' is run again the defective init.lua file is restored to the build folder.
