1st point, normally you would run nmake from the top level directory in the
sources, not down in epan\dissectors, but I don't think that's causing your issue.

2nd point, yes the python script builds register.c by parsing all the
dissector sources for dissector registration calls.

3rd point, you're using Python 3.2, the Developers Guid states that Python 2.7
should be used.  The error reported suggest the python interpreter found a
syntax in the script so I think there is some 3.2 incompatibility here.
