RADIUS dissector changes

[Armen Vardanian <ArmenV () intechnology com au>]

Hi All,

I opened a bug report (#4096) regarding issues I've seen in the duplicate packet detection algorithm for RADIUS 
packets. I won't recount the bug notes (I'm guessing it's "tl;dr") , but I wanted to get some tips on the best quick 
and dirty dev environment to setup to get this to a tested patch stage.

I've found the actual code segment and I have a logical understanding of what can be changed, but I haven't previously 
worked with wireshark code before.

I'm assuming I need:

-          Development Environment (this I'm not so sure about. I'm leaning towards Notepad++, as a lightweight option)

-          Compiler (no idea gcc?)

-          SVN client (thinking tortoiseSVN)

-          Diff tool (WinMerge looks appropriate as it has patch/diff file creation available)

Is there anything else I'd need and is this enough to work on just the radius dissector part? Any pointers on things I 
need to pay attention to to get things running?

Kind regards,
