5 - find a better solution to the plugin stuff (currently, the
checks are done in . for the object files and in epan for the
source files)
6 - move epan/configure.in into configure.in (maybe)
7 - make libwiretap and libethereal shared libraries
8 - move dissectors and helpers to epan/packet/ and clean up includes
IMO, the next step should be 7, as this is the part that has shown a
great potential for problems the last time I sent patches (IIRC, there
were problems on Solaris and MacOS X). IIRC, one of the problems was,
that linking the dfilter and ftype libs into libethereal didn't work.
Makes having dfilter and types as stand alone libs sense (undo 3)?
Btw, the last step should be 8, because by that time we will have a better
understanding of the build requirements on the filesystem layout.

We are stuck with technology when what we really want is just stuff that
works. Some say that should read Microsoft instead of technology.
