the patch below turns libwiretap and libethereal into shared libs. I'd like to see some testing on more than my system before I submit it.
Let me (or somebody) test it on, at minimum, Mac OS X *and* Solaris first, so that we know that it's
1) not dependent on systems using ELF;
2) not dependent on GNU ld.
Things I'd like to get feedback on too: Should I make dfilter into a shared lib too?
Should the dfilter stuff be a separate library, or should it be considered part of libethereal?
Should wiretap remain a static lib?
It's not static on Windows - is there any reason to keep it static on UN*X?
Note that version numbers should be maintained as per the usual rules, i.e. the major version number should change whenever a change is made that breaks binary compatibility with programs built with the older library.
