Hello all,

these patches make ethereal compile again with MSVC 6.

- strtoull() replaced with corresponding glib function
  g_ascii_strtoull()
- added tvb_get_ntoh64() to plugin api
- cosmetic fix for nsis installer

I still get a warning in ftype-integer.c in line 324: Conversion of "__int64" into "int". Possible loss of data.

I assume MSVC6 doesn't know, how to do a "bitwise and" with 64-bit integers.

The nsis installer can show a readme file, but there is a limitation. It is necessary to use a standard file extension, e.g. ".txt". "README.win32" won't work. I didn't activate this feature, but I fixed the comment. However I do not think "README.win32" is a good readme file for a normal user. It is mainly about setting up an development environment on Windows. Any suggestions?

Regards,
Lars
