Need to set the level of required packages in 3.0 and keep at that
level for some time.
The issue of requiring GNU Make is completely not controversial IMHO.
Whether this particular 4.0 version is suitable is another matter. Dario
pointed out that it breaks Travis with Ubuntu Trusty so I would argue
that version 4.0 of GNU Make is not a suitable requirement. Especially
since removing the requirement is annoying but not so onerous.
The GNU Make dependency turned out to be more problematic in terms of
portability and ease of use than I had antecipated so it has been
removed. Wireshark should now support all makes again. I won't be adding
it back without a strong reason.
