Wireshark-bugs: [Wireshark-bugs] [Bug 5756] Wireshark probably should have an Installer package

If Wireshark doesn't start at all, it's probably the *other* big problem - the
support libraries (including Pango) build, by default, with the versions of
system libraries that come with the system. Unfortunately, for rather
complicated reasons (including libtool's general wonderfulness when it comes to
versioning libraries), OS X software updates (and Xquartz builds) often update
X11 libraries such as the Freetype libraries with new versions, and if a
library is built against those versions, it won't work on systems with older
versions. (I'm also not sure whether an SU will replace all the components of
an Xquartz build.)
It might be worth seeing whether all the support libraries can be built against
the OS X 10.5 or 10.6 SDK, rather than against the installed libraries, so
they'll work with the 10.[56].0 release or anything later.
