Let's make Python a requirement now.
I fully support the idea of not keeping generated files in SVN

I know it's been a while, but... Any other thoughts/votes on this

It's fine with me.
One downside with this is that it takes (at least on my not-that-old
home PC) about 3.5 minutes to build all the ASN.1 dissectors ("time
make
-C asn1"). Since the ASN.1 dissectors are all in subdirectories (and
each subdir has only one target) the build does not parallelize ("make
-j X") well.
It probably could be made more parallel through some ugliness (making
what is currently a recursive build non-recursive).
Thoughts?
We can make it parallel without converting them non-recursive.
I'm in for improving the parallelism.
How? (At the moment I'm looking only at automake, but I suppose
eventually Windows and CMake must be considered.)
I was thinking about using build-stamps and inter-directory dependencies
without implementing a full non-recursive make system, but I have to
investigate the current situation to be sure.
In the meantime maybe we could simply speed up the asn2wrs script, but I
haven't done any profiling on it yet.
Right now I'm getting errors even with -j1. :-(
I have it working except for asn1/x721 which, well, doesn't actually
have a dissector in it yet (need to find a way to make it do nothing for
"make all"). I can check in my changes--thus far just cleanup and
putting the asn1 dissectors straight into epan/dissectors/ tonight or
this weekend. (I think the changes I made will port over easily to
Windows/nmake.)
