 Clean up wiretap/libwiretap.vcproj (note: this isn't going to scale, if
 it has to contain a list of all the files, as most committers will be
 editing only Makefile.common files).

That's no big deal, as the file list is only used to easily edit files, but not to build Wireshark. To build Wireshark, the makefiles are still used - just as before.

However, I would think the sln/vcproj way is still in alpha state and should only be seen as a "proof of concept" for now. As the sln/vcproj are xml files, we might even think about generating these files from the Makefile.common files once the general way is working well ...
