[icedtea-web] RFC: support configure's --program-suffix option

[Omair Majid]

Hi,

The attached patch makes icedtea-web support configure's 
--program-suffix option.

A number of distributions use alternatives to manage /usr/bin/javaws. 
Using a prefix of /usr makes IcedTea-Web's javaws conflict with the 
alternatives-managed /usr/bin/javaws. Using a --program-suffix is one 
way to work around this problem and the patch makes this option work.

This patch does not modify the names of desktop files, but does fix the 
binary names they point to.

I would like to add this to HEAD and 1.1. Does anyone have any thoughts 
or comments?
