I can look into this but probably not within the next two weeks as I'm currently
trying to get this to "featurecompleteness" first and because I don't know that
process (msbuild) at all. OK, I don't expect to reach that within two weeks, but
I hope to have the most important items covered by then.

Sounds good to me. UseMakeDissectorReg.cmake only implements the python version,
no idea why I implemented the shell version in UseMakeTapReg.cmake.

Again vs specific or with nmake as well?

That's again interesting. It works for me using cmd (on Win7). I'm not so sure
about the source of the problem. What do you get when you
dir E:/Wireshark/trunk/epan\\dissectos/packet-dua.c
Ah, forget it: Where does the spelling dissectos come from?

Yes, that's one of my priority items right now (getting all the libs detected
and working). The most promising approach will be to use pkg-config (from cygwin
for now unless I fail to get that working).

That only means it won't get boring during the next few weeks ;-)

We are stuck with technology when what we really want is just stuff that
works. Some say that should read Microsoft instead of technology.
