Can anyone further clarify what is going on?
If your plugin uses the ptvcursor routines, and they aren't being
exported by the libwireshark in the standard Wireshark installation,
then your plugin can't be loaded by the standard Wireshark
installation; it can only be loaded by a version of Wireshark that
exports them.
One way to get an installation of Wireshark that exports the ptvcursor
routines would be to download one of the top-of-tree ("1.0.99")
buildbot builds:

I've also added the change that exported those routines in the main
branch to the list of fixes to propagate to the 1.0 branch, so if it's
put into a 1.0.3 release, that release will also export the ptvcursor
routines.
