if set, and if the program isn't running with additional privileges,
it'll treat the directory in which the program is found as the data
directory.
If, on Windows, the version-number subdirectory of {data
directory}\plugins doesn't exist (which is assumed to mean that the
program is being run from the build directory), or if, on UN*X,
WIRESHARK_RUN_FROM_BUILD_DIRECTORY is set, the plugin directory is the
"plugins" subdirectory of the data directory, and all subdirectories of
that directory are scanned for plugins, as the "plugins" subdirectory of
the build directory contains subdirectories for the plugins; this means
that if we're running from the build directory, we'll find the plugins
we built in the build tree.
When generating the wireshark-filter man page, run tshark with
WIRESHARK_RUN_FROM_BUILD_DIRECTORY set, so it uses the plugins from the
build to generate the list of filters.

include fails as we don't do -Iwiretap.
If we have it, include <sys/stat.h> in epan/filesystem.c - we need it
for stat() and the macros and structures it uses.
svn path=/trunk/; revision=16410
to do this, I've added file_util.h to wiretap (would file_compat.h be a better name?), and provide compat_macros like eth_open() instead of open(). While at it, move other file related things there, like #include <io.h>, definition of O_BINARY and alike, so it's all in one place.
deleted related things from config.h.win32
As of these massive changes, I'm almost certain that this will break the Unix build. I'll keep an eye on the buildbot so hopefully everything is working again soon.

-use g_snprintf instead of sprintf and snprintf
-use g_strdup_printf where appropriate
-remove #include "snprintf.h" (as only g_snprintf should be used)
-replace some more alloc/realloc/calloc/free with their glib pendants

it serves the same purpose as the register routine in a built-in
dissector, and don't require all dissectors to have one, as they might
just be taps.
Get rid of the stats tree's init routine, as it's just a tap, and as it
doesn't do anything.
Update the idl2eth Python script to generate plugins with register routines.
svn path=/trunk/; revision=13644
Introduce a new init routine for plugins,
which does not take the plugin api table as an
argument and allows etheral to distinguish
between plugins using the old and the new api.
Update README.plugins accordingly
Change all g_warnings() in epan/plugins.c to report_failue().
On windows we do not have a log console open while
loading the plugins, because a log console cannot be opened before the prefs have been read. Thus g_warnings()
does not work for reporting problems with plugins.

add infrastructure for them, and display the plugin type (which could be
both dissector *and* tap) in the list of plugins.

type of variable and assign the value; that squelches "dereferencing
type-punned pointer will break strict-aliasing rules" warnings from some
versions of GCC.

does "get_plugins_pers_dir()" - and "get_plugins_global_dir()" doesn't
return one either. Both of them return mallocated data, and making them
return a "const char *" just causes compiler whining when you try to
free them.

Also move ncp222.py, x11-fields, process-x11-fields.pl,
make-reg-dotc, and make-reg-dotc.py.
Adjust #include lines in files that include packet-*.h
files.

they have LF at the end of the line on UN*X and CR/LF on Windows;
hopefully this means that if a CR/LF version is checked in on Windows,
the CRs will be stripped so that they show up only when checked out on
Windows, not on UN*X.
svn path=/trunk/; revision=11400
Remove the internal packet-per.c functions
"dissect_per_length_determinant()" and
"dissect_per_normally_small_nonnegative_whole_number()" from the
plugin API, as they shouldn't be used outside the PER dissector.
Remove the H.225/H.245 functions
"dissect_h225_TransportAddress()" and
"dissect_h245_NonStandardParameter()" from the plugin API until
we really need them in plugins.
Add the string dissector table functions to the plugin API.
svn path=/trunk/; revision=8532
move the initialization of the addresses in the plugin interface
structure from run-time to link time;
don't attempt to rebuild the X* files automatically, just warn
that they're out of date and show the command used to rebuild
them (not everybody has GCC installed, but it's required in
order to rebuild them).
Get rid of the checked-in Xepan_plugins.c, as it's no longer generated
or used.
Fix Makefile.am now that Xepan_plugins.c has been replaced by Xass-list.
Give plugin_gen.py an RCS ID.
