Today I moved Wireshark development to a new Windows7 64-bit machine.

After following all the steps in WSDG chapter 2.2 the first build using "nmake
-f makefile.nmake all" on the new machine failed. Below is an excerpt of the
console output:

--------------------
Microsoft (R) Program Maintenance Utility Version 9.00.21022.08
Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation.  All rights reserved.

        "C:\Python27\python.exe" faq.py | lynx -dump -width=72 -nolist -stdin >
faq.txt
Der Befehl "lynx" ist entweder falsch geschrieben oder
konnte nicht gefunden werden.
NMAKE : fatal error U1077: '"C:\Python27\python.exe"' : return code '0xff'
Stop.
NMAKE : fatal error U1077: '"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio
9.0\VC\BIN\amd64\nmake.exe"' : return code '0x2'
Stop.
--------------------

Buildchain complains about missing program: lynx

So, I guess that lynx is required and not automatically installed by Cygwins
setup.

The attached patch adds lynx to the verify_tools target and also places a note
to the WSDG that it need to be installed prior to build wireshark.
