.tar.gz is deprecated but that's kinda besides the point.  If you wanted
to use .tar.gz, you'd change the above to use .tar.gz.

This is just a field for setup.hint so that we don't have to tell
people to rename their scripts when there is a clear precedent for
some version numbering that can't be automatically grokked.

Like everything in setup.hint it should be used only when absolutely
necessary.

I was just using this as an (incorrect, actually) example.  If someone
is comfortable with an underscore, that's fine.  This would probably be
more useful for something like contrib/tei-xml/tei-xml-p4-1-src.tar.bz2 .
