as the problem recently popped up how to load auxillary files in the source
directory that have not been installed to their final paths, I've created a
patch that will add a fallback directory path to get_datafile_dir.
So far get_datafile_dir would check wether some magic variable were set to
locate generated (i.e. compiled) stuff inside the build dir instead of the
install dir. This patch allows to override this behaviour to search in the
specified directory relative to the source dir.

So this is for the case where the build directory isn't the source directory, and you want to run Wireshark from the 
build directory?
