Well, you'll probably never have the standard Wireshark distribution be 
portable "out of the box", as people *NOT* using it as a portable 
application would want it to store their preferences in their "profile 
directory" or whatever it's called.

What you might get is a *separate* build, or a *separate* package, that 
somehow forces Wireshark to run in a portable mode.
