I propose to build *two* installers for Ethereal 0.10.1 on WinDoze:

 1. a GTK1 build

 2. a GTK2 build

You then keep the installer's size at an acceptable level.

BTW you can get rid of 10 MB per binary (ethereeal, tethereal and dftest) by
stripping their symbol tables (at least, that's what I see on cygwin
builds). I know you then don't get nice backtraces anymore, but I don't know
if WinDoze users typically can generate those anyway.

I don't know whether Gerald obtails download statistics for Ethereal, but if
he does, he then knows what the end-users want. I guess most people will
want the GTK2 build because it looks new :) This could then be a trigger for
the developers to decide on maybe moving in a more radical way to GTK2,
probably meaning that we have to create a suitable GTK2 model for the GTK2
model-view-controller paradigm (but that's another story).
