Originally the names were without the version suffix. I added the
suffixes recently while updating the autotools support to work with
the most recent versions.

The suffix addition was primarily experimental: I wanted to see
whether explicitly encoding the recommended autotool versions in the
"bootstrap" file is preferred from other developers' perspective.
It seems the answer is "no" at least for you :)

If other folks don't have any preferences/opinion on the subject,
feel free to change the names.

Thanks,
Pavlin
