Olivier,
I haven't retried what you suggest, though I expect it will work.
I've realized my patch has one advantage over the default unix-based build:
It will detect the presence of WinPCap at runtime. This is useful to me
because I'm releasing it for some end users.
By the way, I managed to get ethereal to build on Cygwin against some native
win32/GDI libraries, which means you don't need X11. Email me for details.
Thanks for your help, Olivier.
Steve
