On the latest master branch: b8c13c0401885873a99b229fca668deecde08749, bowtie2-align-s, bowtie2-build-s and bowtie2-inspect-s commands are displayed as version info. Is it intended?

$ make
$ ./bowtie2 --version
/home/jaruga/git/bowtie2/bowtie2-align-s version 2.4.1
...
$ ./bowtie2-build --version
/home/jaruga/git/bowtie2/bowtie2-build-s version 2.4.1
...
$ ./bowtie2-inspect --version
/home/jaruga/git/bowtie2/bowtie2-inspect-s version 2.4.1
...

I feel the command can be like this. And bowtie2-build and bowtie2-inspect are same as well.

$ ./bowtie2 --version
/home/jaruga/git/bowtie2/bowtie2 version 2.4.1
...

This makes sense to me, since bowtie2, bowtie2-build and bowtie2-inspect are wrapper scripts that do very little themselves except format arguments for the underlying binaries. The binaries end in -s and -l depending on whether they are working with 32-bit or 64-bit formatted index files.
