I thought of giving mate its own section in the installer. The section 
can be configured to be deactivated by default. Thus everybody can 
decide on their own to install mate and it won't be installed if someone 
just uses the default values. (Of course, the standard windows user will 
 install everything, even if it is "experimental", "alpha" or "closed 
source")

This is currently not a problem in a MSVC build, as tethereal doesn't 
load the plugins when ethereal-filter.html is build. The makefile script 
would have to copy the plugins to an appropriate location before calling 
"tethereal -G".
