due to compile errors on Windows from applying the patch in bug 9301 (https://bugs.wireshark.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=9301).

See r52735 (http://anonsvn.wireshark.org/viewvc?view=revision&revision=52735) for how it was fixed.  Not sure if the PIDL compiler has to be changed for this one.
I just tried to replace tools/pidl/ with the current samba rsync version.
The result doesn't look too good:

jmayer@egg:~/work/wireshark/svn/trunk/epan/dissectors/pidl> ../../../tools/pidl/pidl --ws-parser -- atsvc.idl
defined(@array) is deprecated at /home/jmayer/work/wireshark/svn/trunk/tools/pidl/lib/Parse/Pidl/ODL.pm line 73.
         (Maybe you should just omit the defined()?)

Any idea about what's going wrong here?
Hum honestly no ...
But on my laptop it's working pretty well:

mat:~/workspace/wireshark/epan/dissectors/pidl [(master)]$ rsync -a rsync.samba.org::ftp/pub/unpacked/samba_4_0_test/pidl .
Welcome to the samba.org anonymous rsync archives.

And when I try to do a "make install" for pidl and then run it:
jmayer@egg:~/work/wireshark/svn/trunk/epan/dissectors/pidl> pidl --ws-parser -- atsvc.idl Can't locate Parse/Pidl.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/bin/../share/perl5 /usr/bin/lib /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.16.2/i586-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.16.2 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.16.2/i586-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.16.2 /usr/lib/perl5/5.16.2/i586-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/5.16.2 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl .) at /usr/bin/pidl line 410.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/bin/pidl line 410.

Which looks like the make install target doesn't work on opensuse 12.3.
Haven't tried the make install I just rsync in the same directory
