Use the long version number.  That way it is clear at a glance what
goes with what. That is, change this:

EMNU-1.05.tar.gz

to

EMNU-1.05_for_4.1.0.tar.gz

Inside the .tar it can still unpack into EMNU-1.05.  The trick
is making sure the right variant of EMNU (etc.) is always unpacked
into the matching EMBOSS directory tree.

It would probably also help if both EMBOSS and the EMBASSY programs
had a top level "EMBOSS.VERSION" file, so that the Makefile for 
EMBASSY programs could check first thing to verify that they were
in the right place, ie

   diff EMBOSS.VERSION ..

At the moment the "4.x.y" info is relatively inaccessible in configure,
Makefile, and so forth.
