[Pascal Quantin <pascal.quantin@xxxxxxxxx>]

So far, 1.0.X versions are built with MSVC6 and 1.1.X are built with
MSVC2008. You have 2 solutions:
- build 2 versions of your plugin
- try to build your custom plugin with MSVC2008 and ensure you embed
the manifest and distribute the CRT dlls with it. It should work
(there is already an ongoing discussion on this topic on the mailing
list: http://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-dev/200901/msg00155.html)
