When attempting to compile a dissector plugin (running make -C plugins from the
top level folder) the build fails with the following error:

$ make -C plugins/
make: Entering directory `/home/paul/src/wireshark-1.10.1/plugins'
Making all in hdhr
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/paul/src/wireshark-1.10.1/plugins/hdhr'
Making plugin.c with python
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "../../tools/make-dissector-reg.py", line 288, in <module>
    new_hash = hashlib.sha1(reg_code).hexdigest()
TypeError: Unicode-objects must be encoded before hashing
make[1]: *** [plugin.c] Error 1

Additional Information:
$ /usr/bin/env python -V
Python 3.3.2

The hashlib functions expect a bytes object, but a string is being passed. 
Modifying the line to the following resolves the problem...

new_hash = hashlib.sha1(bytes(reg_code, "UTF-8")).hexdigest()
