Does this mean that the tarball generated by "make dist" includes a configure script and a Makefile.in that will generate a Makefile that uses no GNU make extensions?

If not, that's a bug - release tarballs should be usable by people who don't care about modifying Wireshark and only care about being able to build it on a platform for which no binary packages are available, and should require a minimum of extra tools to be installed.  It shouldn't require GNU make, for example.
