Wireshark · Wireshark-dev: [Wireshark-dev] Building wireshark-0.99.8-SVN-23860 fails due to uncreated directory

["J.C. Wren" <jcwren@xxxxxxxxx>]

Building under Windows, when the Makefile.nmake got to the following
step, it failed.  The plugins directory had not created prior to it
attempting to create the 0.99.8-SVN-23860 directory.  The patch I
applied to the ./Makefile.nmake is below.

        if not exist wireshark-gtk1\wimaxasncp mkdir wireshark-gtk1\wimaxasncp
        xcopy ".\wimaxasncp\*.*" wireshark-gtk1\wimaxasncp /d

Of course, 'mkdir' on a *real* OS would support a -p option.
