What is the right place to change the version string?
Then, run "perl make-version.pl -p". This will update config.nmake and
configure.in with your package name modifications.
What if it is not on an SVN build? Can set
AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE(wireshark,1.0.4-mypatch-blah-blah)?
Sure. (Assuming you're not on Windows, which uses config.nmake)
That did not work:
$ make clean distclean
$ ./configure && make -j 4 && make install
$ grep AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE configure.in
AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE(wiresharkAAA, 1.0.4-mypatch-blah-blah)
$ wireshark -v
wireshark 1.0.4

I am kind of puzzled.
