In the case of Windows, the right way to run the built executables is from the 
wireshark-gtk2 directory.

A while ago, there was some discussion suggesting that we should with auto* 
(and presumably CMake) do as we do with MSVC++ nmake, and "install" the built 
executables and data files in a separate directory as part of the build process 
to provide a way to run from the build directory (so that you don't have to 
install the built Wireshark package in order to test it).  I *think* the issue 
that provoked the discussion was out-of-source-tree builds, but other issues 
favoring that may have come up during the discussion.
