The problem here was that we weren't delivering the wspy_dissectors
subdirectory in the source tarball. I fixed that with rev 36915.

The problem here is that, when running from the build directory, you need to
export WIRESHARK_RUN_FROM_BUILD_DIRECTORY (so Wireshark knows to look in the
build directory instead of where it's supposed to be installed). Wireshark is
smart enough, when running with autotools, to figure out that
WIRESHARK_RUN_FROM_BUILD_DIRECTORY is *supposed* to be set and acts like it is.
It is not (currently) smart enough to do that with cmake (actually I don't know
if cmake leaves enough information about its existence for Wireshark to figure
it out).
Even with that, though, I think you'll run into bug 5664 except with cmake: if
you're doing an out-of-tree build (like you appear to be here with cmake), some
of the things Wireshark wants to have in the build directory aren't there--they
are in the source directory.
