I have what's probably a sub-set of the ethereal code that's used to build a
Windows static link library.  It was created by ClearSight, another sniffer
company and distributed as a demo of how to use the ethereal dissectors in
another app.  What I'm trying to do is use that library in our (Wildpackets)
decode test app.  We compile everything as Unicode, so I need to get a build
of the ethereal library as Unicode. ClearSight used the multibyte char set
build, which isn't exactly the same as Unicode.  When compiling ethereal as
Unicode, the only file that gave errors was filesystem.c.

I don't think anybody's tried it.

What are you expecting to get from doing that?  Note that, for example, 
we do *NOT* use native Win32 APIs to access files - we use the "standard 
I/O library" routines, such as "fopen()" - and we do *NOT* use native 
Win32 APIs for the GUI - we use GTK+.
