That code (should be) maintained like the rest of our regular GTK code, 
except that it just happens to only be built on Windows since the 
AirPcap hardware only comes with Windows drivers.  So our recent change 
to build all of Wireshark with GTK_DISABLE_DEPRECATED worked on Unix, 
but not on Windows.  It is unusual for our GTK code to not be compiled 
on all platforms, which is why building with GTK_DISABLE_DEPRECATED 
seemed ok to do.  It makes it hard to troubleshoot AirPcap build 
problems without a Windows box; can we compile AirPcap code on all 
platforms and just disable the option to enable the AirPcap toolbar if 
AirPcap support isn't present?
