The people who contribute patches to add new functions to the list - or 
who add new functions and *don't* contribute patches to add functions to 
the list (generally because they don't know about the list of exported 
functions or forget about them).

Exporting functions would be easier if we did whatever MSVC++/etc. 
voodoo was necessary to just have plugins import them from 
libethereal.dll - it'd just involve adding the function name to 
libethereal.def.

I've checked in changes to add the functions in question - as well as 
rtcp_add_address() - to the plugin API list and to libethereal.def.  Not 
being on a Windows system right now, I haven't tested the changes.
