I think that's not the case if you've downloaded a distribution source
tarball, as "packet-ncp2222.c" is part of the tarball.

As such, I'm loath to use an ifdef there - I don't want to prevent
people from downloading source tarballs and building, from the tarball,
a complete version of Ethereal, including the NCP dissector.
