The plugins export functions, too. If we make libethereal just exporting
the necessary functions and make the plugins link with libethereal via
an import library, we will have to find a way to make formerly exported
functions of the plugins available to libethereal.
Because MSVC doesn't allow to build a non self contained dll you cannot
easily create two libraries with each of them having dependencies on the
other. :(
That was the way it has been done in order to make Ethereal build
*with plugins* in a cygwin environment (with all the required
autotools).
Are you sure that cygwin builds without the plugin api table?

The cygwin builds work this way: -L../../epan -lethereal does this.
plugins/acn/Makefile.am:

Maybe we should replace the plugin LIBADD entries with an automake
macro @PLUGIN_LIBADD@ which we define in the top-level configure.in?
