Note: I have not reviewed the patches, I have only loosely followed the
discussion in this bug.

Making bluetooth a plugin is a no go at the current time (mentioned in at least
one comment). If you want this changed do *not* continue to discuss this here,
but please go to wireshark-dev@xxxxxxxxxxxxx instead.

I personally agree that plugin or not plugin (my personal view is: not plugin),
bluetooth and other protocols with lots of files should go into their own
subdirectory in epan/dissectors/.
I do think that our current plugin directories should go there as well.

As this is a change of policy, I have sent a mail (well, actually two) to
wireshark-dev.

In the mean time, if you want to speed up the build process:
1) do make -C epan (or make -C epan install). This will only rebuild the
dissection library instead of the main executables and documentation as well
2) Use cmake instead of autotools: autotools creates some unnecessary
intermediate archives (clean vs, dirty vs. generated vs ...)
3) Change tools/make-dissector-reg.py to not recreate (overwrite) register.c if
the signature of the registration function has not changed, thus saving the
time to recompile register.c
