I'm not fully immersed of the details of the build process, but I think (well know, but I'm a

The C:\wireshark-1.0.0\ folder and all subfolders except
for those created during a
build (to see the effect do a 'nmake -f Makefile.nmake distclean'
and then a 'nmake -f Makefile.nmake all'
and watch what folders that are created). In the end of the build, all necessary files are
copied (using xcopy in windows) into /wireshark-gtk-1 and /wireshark-gtk2 and
in those folders all dependencies are on the right places.
The C:\wireshark-1.0.0\ is only a placeholder of the development files until the build is ready.
Was I fussy or (or perhaps even wrong) somewhere? If so, please say that.
You are quite correct: the wireshark-gt? directories are especially
created and populated to contain all the dependencies (dlls and etc)
required to run wireshark, tshark & etc on Windows in the development
environment.
