I don't think everything really works yet with the makefile.  For instance
if I modify something in libui.lib, I have to run nmake twice to force a
rebuild of ethereal.exe.  I was looking into this, but thought that
converting into a Visual Studio project might have given a more reliable
dependency check as it doesn't rely on manual entries in the makefile.
Visual Studio might not be perfect for everything but seems to get build
dependencies right.   I was also looking forward to one of the items on the
wishlist : Native look and feel.
