Well, in theory, one *might* be able to run "configure" if one has
Cygwin:

	http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin/

installed and builds Ethereal with Cygwin; however, as the
"README.win32" file says:

	Instructions for Cygwin
	-----------------------
	No one has ever compiled Ethereal entirely with Cygwin.  It should not
	be difficult, however.  This spot is reserved for your instructions on
	how to compile Ethereal with Cygwin.

so anybody who decides to build Ethereal with Cygwin is on their own -
it's not clear how much any of us will be able to help them.

If you're using Microsoft Visual C++, there is no "configure" you do;
what you do is edit "Makefile.nmake" by hand.

Presumably you edited "Makefile.am" and added the ".c" file for your
dissector to the DISSECTOR_SOURCES macro; edit "Makefile.nmake" and add
the ".c" file for your dissector in the same way you added it to
"Makefile.am".
