A follow-up on issues when building wireshark on win32. 
I found out that if Cygwin "make" package is installed, Wireshark cannot
be built anymore under win32 (cannot find "cl" and other dependencies).
It might be a conflict between Cygwin's make and "nmake".

Does someone else have the issue? For now, when I build Wireshark, I
first have to remove Cygwin's make.

Thanks,
Olivier.
