One have to remember though to run nmake with the install-deps build 
target after every recompilation of the source (for any change you 
make). Otherwise Wireshark is started with the old compiled code. I 
can't remember the amount of times I have been trying to debug my code 
and it just does not seem to be executing what I just rewrote.

Why is the install-deps build target not a default operation when 
building on Windows? Is there a reason for it?
