Added support for compiling on win32 with Visual C and 'nmake'. It compiles,
but does not link. Perhaps someone who understands the MS tools can help out. I made it link a few months ago, but with different version of glib/gtk+. I can't remember how I made it link. Most of the compatibility issues were resolved with adding #ifdef HAVE_UNISTD_H the the source code. Please be sure to add this to all future code. svn path=/trunk/; revision=359

+
+Ethereal can be compiled on Win32 platforms. Some libraries are
+needed, however.
+
+The glib, gtk, glib-dev, and gtk-dev packages for win32 can be found
+at http://www.gimp.org/~tml/gimp/win32 You will definitely need these.
+
+I have seen mention of a UCD SNMP library for win32 on the cygwin
+home page, but I have not tried it with ethereal.
+
+There is no open-source libpcap for win32 yet.
+
+
+Instructions for MS Visual C
+----------------------------
+Download and install the glib-dev and gtk-dev packages. Modify
+the top lines of Makefile.nmake and wiretap/Makefile.nmake accordingly.
+In the wiretap directory, type "nmake -f makefile.nmake"
+Then in the ethereal directory, type "nmake -f makefile.nmake"
+
+You must set your HOME environment variable for ethereal to work.
+
+
+Instructions for cygwin
+-----------------------
+No one has ever compiled ethereal with cygwin. It should not be difficult,
+however. This spot is reserverd for your instructions on how to compile
+ethereal with cygwin.
