Thanks

Yes: As you imply: The real issue is that there is no generalized .h file
dependency checking being done for the Wireshark Windows build thus meaning one
must be very careful if doing a partial build after one or more .h files have
been changed.

Maybe using CMake to generate a Wireshark MSVC project/workspace will
eventually be the answer for building on Windows .....
