All,

The attached patch to ethereal-0.10.2 makes it work on Cygwin with packet 
capture, using WinPCap 3.0 for the packet capture.

There were a couple of minor problems with the build, and also an issue with 
'ethclist.c'.

 Note: Compiling Ethereal under cygwin takes a lot of time, because the
 generation of 'register.c' takes ages. If you only edit one dissector and
 you know what you're doing, it is acceptable to uncomment the generation
