           Summary: Win32: confusing setup target warning if cl.exe is not
                    in path
           Product: Wireshark
           Version: SVN
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows XP
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Low
         Component: Wireshark
        AssignedTo: wireshark-bugs@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
        ReportedBy: ulf.lamping@xxxxxx

If cl.exe (the compiler from MSVC) is not in the PATH, the setup target says:

"ERROR: Can't find cl. This is probably an optional cygwin package not yet
installed. Try to install it using cygwin's setup.exe!"

Obviously, this is a bit confusing for a user setting up it's build environment
for the first time - it gives the wrong hint in this case.

Maybe we need to distinguish between native Windows tools (MSVC, Python, ...)
and the cygwin related tools.
