NOTE: Wireshark 2.6 is the last release to support the legacy GTK-based UI.

+NOTE: Although lua is listed as a requirement, it's possible to build
+using lua52. This may be needed for some third-party Lua plugins (but,
+it may break other third-party Lua plugins; your mileage may vary). The
+default is to build with lua52 if it's installed, or lua otherwise. If
+you have both lua versions installed, you can build with LUA52=no in
+the environment to build with the older lua.
