With a 2.6.8 wireshark, this module could not compile because of ws_version.h
missing header. This patch offers the possibility to compile this plugin without
having to include this header. Furthermore with my wireshark version a
"plugin_release" object is required to make it be loaded by wireshark. This is
a string which seems to have to match a dotted string made of you wireshark
major and minor versions.
The wireshark dissector could only be build within wireshark, which
means maintaining a wireshark binary just for this dissector. It was not
really convenient to update wireshark because of this.
This patch converts the dissector into a .so plugin which is built with
the .h found in distributions instead of the whole wireshark sources.
I found on an (old) AIX 5.1 machine that stdint.h didn't exist while
inttypes.h which is expected to include it does exist and provides the
desired functionalities.
As explained here, stdint being just a subset of inttypes for use in
freestanding environments, it's probably always OK to switch to inttypes
instead:

Also it's even clearer here in the autoconf doc :
https://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/manual/autoconf-2.61/html_node/Header-Portability.html
"The C99 standard says that inttypes.h includes stdint.h, so there's
no need to include stdint.h separately in a standard environment.
Some implementations have inttypes.h but not stdint.h (e.g., Solaris
7), but we don't know of any implementation that has stdint.h but not
inttypes.h"
This fixes a typo in the README of the peers section of this subsystem
and 2 typos in code comments. Groupped together as cleanup to avoid too
many 1 char patches.
