supposing that you've done all the changes to the Makefiles as
described in README.plugins you can just build the plugin.

$ cd plugins/xxx
$ make
$ cp .libs/xxx.so %plugins_dir%

Although some times it might work very often a binary plugin won't
work at all with a version of ethereal different from the one it was
compiled with.
