Darn. So does this mean that when the ABI changes, I will have to compile the plugin with the new source?

Also, what is ABI?

Keep in mind, too, that the ABI for plugins is not stable.  As such you 
must compile your plugin for each version of Wireshark.

OK, you can probably get away with reusing a plugin between some 
versions but there is no guarantee that the ABI won't change (and there 
is no notice when it does change).
