...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.
