Well, the thing is that a 'nmake -f Makefile.nmake all' does a partial
install to generate documentation (see doc/Makefile.nmake target
ethereal-filter.pod). This leaves the plugins/$(VERSION) directory and two
DLLs (wiretap and libethereal) behind. Apart from that 'nmake -f
Makefile.nmake clean' is fairly well balanced against target 'all'.

Thanx,
