Yes.  Custom.nmake adds the custom plugins to Makefile.nmake's PLUGINS via
the CUSTOM_PLUGINS and custom_plugins.txt adds the custom plugins to
wireshark.nsi's SecPlugins.

I don't think this could be done since the formats are different:

Custom.nmake:
    ../../plugins/foo.dll

vs.

custom_plugins.txt:
    File "${STAGING_DIR}\plugins\${VERSION}\foo.dll"
