...and isn't now deprecated, it's now marked as "accepted for checkin", and is
still in epan/Makefile.am - the attempt to back it out in 44805 changed the
wrong "HAVE_LIBPY", which broke the build and was undone.

That change should be made for the HAVE_PLUGINS optional symbols as well.

Then 9098 should be replaced with a patch that applies to the current version
of epan/Makefile.am, which has had the change in 8681 made (as that change
fixed a logic error, and did not, in and of itself, break the build, it should
not be reverted), and that also changes the HAVE_PLUGINS optional symbols
stuff.

But that doesn't support libpy support on Windows - it'd be best to have a
mechanism for optionally-exported symbols that works with make, CMake, and
MSVC++ nmake.
