We recently updated the version of GLib in the 32-bit and 64-bit Windows
installers. The new version no longer prints low priority log messages by
default. Unfortunately Pilot depends on these log messages in order to be able
to tell when Wireshark has started up and is ready to receive packets.

*Urk*

Should some less fragile mechanism be provided, so that Pilot (and other programs that might want to use Wireshark) 
don't get broken by GLib changes we don't notice?  (Yes, Pilot might have to determine whether the new mechanism is 
available, and fall back on the older mechanism if it isn't.)
