Given I have had a few issues building wireshark-0.99.7  on my Sun Blade 
2000 running Solaris 10 update 4 and Sun's compiler, I thought I would 
build from trunk rather than the  wireshark-0.99.7.tar.gz file. (I know 
one of the issues I had with the ethercat plugin seems to be fixed in 
trunk).

The trunk does not include the configure scripts, but my attempts to 
create the configure scripts are failing.

kestrel /tmp % svn co http://anonsvn.wireshark.org/wireshark/trunk/

Checked out revision 24279.

I'm using the following version of software from Blastwave (installs in 
/opt/csw)

automake (GNU automake) 1.10
autoconf (GNU Autoconf) 2.61

I tried running automate --add-missing, but that too bombs out, with 
what look like closely related problems

I'm guessing I need to add come files to a library before trying to 
build the bits I need for wireshark
