Wireshark-dev: [Wireshark-dev] Not possible to run wireshark from root dev dir on Windows

I have recently noticed that wireshark.exe and wireshark-gtk2.exe no longer can be run from the root development directory on Windows because a set of dlls files no longer gets copied there by the build target install-deps ("nmake -f makefile.nmake install-deps"). For example wiretap-0.3.dll, libwireshark.dll, adns_dll.dll, libgnutls-14.dll, libgcrypt-11.dll and libgpg-error-0.dll. Instead all works fine if run from the <root dev dir>\wireshark-gtk1\ and the <root dev dir>\wireshark-gtk2\ directories.

Is this behaviour by feature or design?
