The new version of ADNS was incorporated into the default Windows build
on April 8, and will be included with the next release of Ethereal.
That probably won't happen for a few more weeks, however.  If installing
the ADNS DLL by hand is going to be a hassle, I might be able to build
an interim release -- I'll check my schedule tomorrow.
