A) Simply calling it evolution-nognome breaks parallel installability
B) We can't rely on the .desktop file, and this is cleaner than hacking
   the .desktop file (there is no guarantee our packages will show up in
   menus in Sun's Gnome2)
3) This is the best solution I can think of to guarantee that the path
   is set correctly for bonobo-activation. I don't know a better way to
   do this, as there is no command line magic I can do at install time
   for our packages, and I'd rather avoid hacking a binary that gets run
   at install time to just load the xml and spit out more xml with the
   new path added.

The hardcoded GNOME paths are from Sun's Gnome2 packages. If we need to
detect prefixes from other programs and add them also, then we have even
more issues. Yelp really doesn't matter as far as I can tell. The major
issues are GNOME2_PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
