There was a bug in the "wiretap/Makefile.am" file that caused "wtap.def"
not to be included in the source distribution; the nightly tarballs'
content is not determined by the lists of files in the "Makefile.am"
files, which is why you found it in the nightly tarball.

(The bug was fixed after 0.8.17 was released, so the next release
shouldn't have this problem.)
