Should we either include the complete source to all of them in the Ethereal tarball, or extract the parts of those libraries that we need and put them into epan, so that the SSL decryption capability is available regardless of whether you have GNU TLS or libgcrypt installed on your platform? 

No, don't include them into the Ethereal sources. It's the same as with
lua - I don't need several copies of the same lib on my system. If we
really only use a small subset then yes, we might include only that
subset, but otherwise please use separate libs.
Why not use them *only* on those systems where we don't find a proper GNU TLS or libgcrypt installed? This should keep everyone happy, shouldn't it?
