I was looking for some kind of bug reporting interface but couldn't find
one anywhere... is there such a thing?  If so it would be good to add a
link to it to the ethereal web pages :).

Anyway, there's a bug in ethereal/configure.in when you're doing
cross-compilation: the code to check for loadable module support in glib
prints "cross compiling; assumed OK...", but then it doesn't actually
set the value and so it defaults to "no".

The patch below should fix it.
