Wireshark is, as noted, not one of those projects; it comes with 
UN*X-style automake/autoconf stuff, for use on UN*X-style systems, *AND* 
with nmake files, for use on Windows with MSVC++.

I cannot guarantee that the configure script will work correctly on 
Windows with any environment - for one thing, I don't know whether it'd 
find WinPcap.  The automake/autoconf stuff was developed under the 
assumption that it'll be running on a UN*X-style system.
