|Well, it seems to work on FreeBSD 3.4.

Hip hip hurray! I'll open a good bottle of wine on this success :)

It looks like the key to success was the addition of "-no-undefined" to the
linker flags and the linkage of libethereal (and GLIB_LIBS) for the plugins.

I hope the linkage to libethereal doesn't put too many constraints on plugin
dissector development as I don't know whether there are people that develop
a plugin dissector without building Ethereal (I even don't know if this is
possible altogether).
