Re: Usage of make-version.pl

[Graham Bloice <graham.bloice () trihedral com>]

For Windows, the "better" way is to set an environment
variable WIRESHARK_VERSION_EXTRA.  I'm trying to get away from folks having
to make changes to config.nmake just to build.

See the Developers Guide section 2.2.9. Open a Visual Studio Command Prompt
(

).
