This is not true. The file config.h defines the macro WS_VAR_IMPORT. 
This define is used in the Wireshark interface. 156 symbols are defined 
with this macro. When you miss to include that file you get a lot of 
compiler errors.

WS_VAR_IMPORT is necessary since the linkage differs when compiling 
libwireshark.dll to compiling a Wireshark plug-in. The latter case needs a

    __declspec(dllimport)

modifier. That's why you need this macro.
