Kaixo!

I always forget about it...

Well; now I attach it, so you can decide about it (or, Miguel, would you
want I simply cvs commit it to mc CVS module ?)

It is a little program that accepts several command line parameters and
according to that creates desktop icons.
It can be useful for automatic creation of desktop icons for programs
not having that feature inside them (which is the case of all non-Gnome
programs:) ).

Still needs to be improved for error checking, and also for metadata
properties I missed.
