The installation of VS2013 was very old, I must admit. I have installed
the "VS2013 Update 5" and the errors related to C source code are vanished.

So this was really a compiler bug. Sorry for the noise.

I get this version number now at the command line. Would this an idea to
add the current version to the WSDG?

Okay, I made another mistake. I missed Cygwin packages asciidoc and
docbook-xml45. That's my mistake, but this has not been detected in the
cmake phase.

So I got only 83 warnings no errors anymore:
- 81 times C4267: conversion from 'size_t' to 'int'
-  2 times C4244: conversion from '__int64' to 'int'

These could be avoided but don't affect the ability to build Wireshark
at all.

Merry Christmas!
Andreas
