	;-) FWIW, this isn't the Ximian build system - it's an attempt to get
around the built-in evilness of the OO.o build system, and it's in a
state of flux.

	Thanks for sorting it out, I'll have a test shortly; AFAIR we currently
don't use autotools to install the .desktop files, that could be
fixable, but - due to the badly sucking autotools, makefile-specific,
broken variable substitution, it hardly seems worth tracking any
prefix/appname stuff in autotools at all. I have no desire to spend
hours writing tens of identical seds all through various Makefile.am's
;-)

	Great work though,

	Thanks,

		Michael.
