...but what's different about it isn't its name, what's different about it is 
the version.

Furthermore, there isn't even an "it" - there are at least two "it"s, Wireshark 
and TShark.  For that use case, what would the internal versions of Wireshark 
and TShark be called?  If it'd be "wireshark-XXX" and "tshark-XXX" for some 
value of "XXX", perhaps the preference directory should be 
{Wireshark,.wireshark}-XXX, although there might also be cases where the name 
is different but the preferences directory should be shared, so perhaps the two 
should be configured independently.
