Perhaps it should work, but, for me, it's not working.  I get a dialog
box with the title

	Tethereal.exe: Unable To Locate...

and no text in it when nmake tries to do the "tethereal.exe -G | perl ...".

I don't know what was supposed to come after "Unable To Locate"" -
perhaps it's "DLL".

I did that (it's "C:\ethereal-win32-libs", with GLib extracted into
"C:\ethereal-win32-libs\glib" and GTK+ extracted into
"C:\ethereal-win32-libs\gtk+") - but that directory is *NOT* in my path
setting.

Does it have to be?
