Thanks. I can cleanup my sandbox now.

Definitely yes. The official plugins should use libethereal instead of 
the old plugin api. With this option active, we don't need the old 
plugin api anymore.
However Ethereal is still compiled with the plugin api, so Ethereal 
won't crash, if it has to load a private plugin with the old api.

Before making it default, I'd like to test a few more things.

Lars
