I will prepare patches, if moving print.c and ps.c out of libethereal is our goal.


It should be.

Here they are. With this patch print.(c/h) and ps.(c/h) don't belong to the DISSECTOR_SUPPORT_xy files any longer and as a consequence they won't be linked into libethereal. Please check in.

Most other DISSECTOR_SUPPORT_xy files have to be linked into libethereal.dll to make it selfcontained. I am not sure about util.c but I will find out. The DISSECTOR_SUPPORT_xy files which have to be linked into libethereal should be moved to epan/dissectors or another subdirectory of epan. However there are already two DISSECTOR_SUPPORT_xy files in epan/dissectors and I'd like to have the other files moved there, too.

Regards,
Lars
