The compile on my openSUSE 13.1 system fails (and I can confirm that this gets
me further with msbuild builds :-)

I think that error means that there were insufficient parameters passed in to the script. The intent was that non-win32 systems would still pass in the parameters on the command line.

Can you try it again, but with the changes to make-register-dissector.py reverted to see if the problem is on the python or CMake side?  I'm fairly positive that I ran an nmake build last night that would still have used make-register-dissector.py in the previous mode, if so that points the finger at the CMake side.
