No, I don't think so: The libraries are needed by the dissectors contained
in libethereal and thus should be linked directly into the lib. That way
it will be linked only once into libethereal instead of linking it into
ethereal and tethereal each.

On my system all the libs are shared.

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