Use cygwin "gcc -aux-info xyzzy ... -c plugin_api_list.c" to create

We could do that...

1) people might be using older versions of GCC that don't
support "-aux-info";
2) people might not be using GCC at all.
I.e., that'd have to be done manually whenever the plugin interface is
updated.
OK, I will make that part a separate makefile target.
Expect a patch in the next few days.
I think the patch is too large for the mailing list, and therefor I
have made it available at
http://www.xs4all.nl/~mmelchio/win32-plugin.diff
.....
Please add the patch mentioned above to ethereal. I already have some
additions to the plugin interface, currently worked around with an
unjustified constant and a memory leak [get_datafile_dir and tvb_free],
and expect to come up with more.
If you think 'gcc -aux-info' is a real problem, please realize this is
the only use of gcc, my win32 builds use nmake and cl for everything
else. And generating the correct interface files can be done before
creating the release tar, and that will then have satisfied
dependencies and will not cause make to try to use gcc -aux-info and
python. Just as what happens for the packet-ncp2222.c file :-)
Please consider adding this.
Thanks.
