Indeed I missed the patch... Now I read it and have a few remarks
(again!):

- why do we force a '-' before the suffix? Using
  --with-lyx-version=-blah is not more difficult that ...=blah

- I'd rather have the switch named --with-version-suffix, since it
  seems more self explaining to me

- in LYX_VERSION_SUFFIX, the help text is not coherent (uses <version>
  and <suffix>)

- why is the stuff with ac_configure_args needed? It seems a bit scary
  to me, especially since it seems that --with-lyx-version=blah will
  be changed to --with-lyx-version=blah=blah.

Maybe. If you are fed up with the patch, I can do some changes myself,
but I guess you'd be less prone to making mistake than me (you know
what you are trying to do).

Indeed. Do you want me to apply this patch as is, and fix it later?
