It only actually attempts to download the library files if you put them in
the "wrong location", my guess is that you do not have WIRESHARK_LIBS
pointing in the right direction yet.

When I do "nmake -f makefile.nmake process_libs" on my machine I get the
following:
c:\Wireshark>nmake -f makefile.nmake process_libs
Microsoft (R) Program Maintenance Utility Version 8.00.50727.762

File `glib_2.20.5-1_win32.zip' already there; not retrieving.

Notice the last line on the "...already there; not retrieving".
