This requires changing the source tree to fix, by moving /plugins to 
/epan/plugins. If we had bundled wiretap plugins, those would go in 
/wiretap/plugins. We don't, so libwiretap should find nothing at all 
when running from the build dir.

I'm pressed for time right now, I'll get to that when I can.
