wireshark SVN 20326 for gtk2 compiles with MSVC2005 (aka MSVC8,
"Microsoft Visual Studio 8") and runs with the attached patches, plus
compiling zlib as specified in the MSVC7 notes in the wiki. Reading
gzipped pcap files does work.

The extra libs added in Makfile.nmake may be overkill, but I wasn't
going to spend time working out which ones were superfluous.

The patches are brute force. ifdefs will be needed to work with other
compiler versions.

I'll try gtk1 next.
