AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE sets the package name. If you ran "make dist" you'd end up with
wiresharkAAA-1.0.4-mypatch-blah-blah.tar.gz. If you want to set the version
reported by "tshark -v" or Wireshark's "About" box, create a "version.conf" with
something like
enable: 1
pkg_format: -mypatch-blah-blah
as its contents.
