The *official* Git repository for Wireshark is not on GitHub, it's our own
repository on code.wireshark.org.
Changes to Wireshark get checked into our own repository. They should,
eventually, get propagated to the GitHub repository, but that doesn't
necessarily happen right after they're committed to the main repository.
I'm not sure why we have a GitHub repository, but I would recommend that
anybody who wants to build from the master branch use the Wireshark repository,
not the GitHub repository, if they can; see
https://www.wireshark.org/develop.html

That's because epan/crypt/Makefile.am and epan/developer/Makefile.am were buggy
in our code and failed to include, in the compiling commands, the -I flags for
those packages, as determined by the configure script. The two commits in
question fix those bugs.

Yes, so you either need to start using the main Wireshark repository or wait
for the changes in question to be propagated to the GitHub repository.

No, you should be able to use either autotools or CMake on UN*Xes. If one of
them doesn't work, that's probably a bug.
