I think it's a good idea to do this.

As we now have three GUI's (GTK1, GTK2  and tethereal) and there is a 
native win32 GUI at the horizon coming from Gerald,
I think it's a good idea to have a better seperation of the functional 
blocks.

BTW: It might not be a good idea to check in these changes before the 
next release, but I think you'd mentioned that yourself.

I might be able to help you getting this into the win32 makefiles, but I 
don't have much knowledge about DLL generation,
and would like some other things cleaned up before the next release.
