[EMBOSS] Compiling EMNU fails with EMBOSS 4.0.0

[Ryan Golhar]

It might not be a bad idea, or else there is no indication that a new
version is available...

Each time a new EMBOSS version is released the EMBASSY packages are
reconstructed: the EMBASSY packages are specific to a given release.

You're trying to compile the EMNU supplied with EMBOSS 3.0.0 on EMBOSS
4.0.0. You need to download EMNU again from the ftp server.

The version numbers of the EMBASSY packages reflects their internal
functionality and not the version of the main package they are linked
against. As this seems to be a common gotcha we'll think of altering
this for future releases.

We will also consider removing EMNU from future releases. It has been
superseded by lots of good GUIs out there.
