It doesn't, on UNIX - it doesn't know where the build tree is.

Even on Windows, where it does know where *it* (the Ethereal/Tethereal
binary) is, it only looks in a "plugins/{version}" subdirectory - it
doesn't know that it needs to look in the "mgcp" directory for the MGCP
plugin, for example.

This is a nuisance when running Ethereal from the build tree.
