It's probably best not to put the DLL's into the windows directory.  If you
have another program that also uses GTK, e.g. Gimp, there could be problems.
As the README.txt says the DLL's just have to be on your path, what it
doesn't say is that the DLL's can just be in the same directory as the
Ethereal executables without modifying your path and this is my personal
preference to avoid 'DLL Hell'
