Ethereal and Tethereal use the same code to find plugin dissectors, and
look in the same places for them.

Ethereal and Tethereal can and do use the exact same *binary* code for
dissectors (it is an error to write a dissector where that's not true).

So plugins are not "Ethereal" plugins, they're plugins for both Ethereal
and Tethereal.
