aha .. yep ./autogen.sh (last time i looked) is available
when I download a nightly CVS tarball from
http://www.ethereal.com/distribution/nightly-builds/

running ./autogen.sh after you update the plugins/giop/Makefile.am and .nmake
should be sufficient to then go ahead and run make and make install from the
top directory.

It sounds like you dont have the nightly CVS tarball but perhaps
a "make dist" distribution instead .
Quoting the Ethereal site ..
" The snapshots differ from regular releases in that the snapshots are
simply tarballs of the current CVS tree, while the releases are created
using "make dist", and have many configuration files prebuilt."
I normally recommend using a CVS nightly tarball if you are making GIOP
plugins..
