Unfortunately, our build system is fixed and builds a lot of other software.

The goal is to generate a version of Wireshark that understand and can
dissect all the XDR-based RPC protocols we use.

Eventually, I will have to convert to a plug-in approach because that
will also work for developers who are changing the XDR.

In any event, since the Custom.common file is essentially empty, it
was easy for me to simply cat some text into it from the shell script
that drives the whole process of generating the dissectors and
building Wireshark.
