Jörg helped me fix a few things at Sharkfest, and I believe (though I haven't recently verified) that [1] is the only thing standing in the way of building wireshark (with cmake) using only homebrew packages, i.e. without running macosx-setup.sh at all.

at least on the buildbots. However, I'm fine with adding howebrew support, just
not removing what we have today.
