That's because, if you build from the source tree without having done a
build beforehand, there isn't a "config.h" in the "epan" directory; the
"Makefile.nmake" in "epan" would copy "config.h.win32" to "config.h"
eventually, because "ethereal.lib" depends on it and building "all"
builds "ethereal.lib", but it wouldn't do so before building stuff in
the "ftypes" or "dfilter" directory, as "all" builds them first, and
neither of them depended on "config.h".

I've updated "Makefile.nmake" to make both "ftypes" and "dfilter" depend
on "config.h"; doing so caused the compile error to show up for the
first time in my source tree.

Checked in.  (Your patch appears to have had tabs replaced by spaces,
which caused "patch" to fail to apply it; perhaps your mail program does
that, so you might want to send patches as attachments, even if they're
small, in the hopes that the mail program will leave the text in the
patch file alone.)
