So it would be also a good idea IMHO, to add a hint to the config.nmake, maybe something like:
"If you use this old style GTK1.3 directory structure,
you are using an outdated GTK 1.3 version with some known bugs,
like a GDI resource leak and such.
An update to a current GTK1.3 version is strongly recommended!"
As not everybody who is compiling the Ethereal source, will have read the list some months ago,
like me for example ;-)
