Citing README.xml:

So the thing that gets installed via binary tags ends up in
/usr/local/games/vegastrike. You can make it a shell script wrapper
for the actual binaries.

This list is not needed, use the built-in default.

binpath is not the directory where to find the binary but the path
to the binary itself. Put your binary into bin/Linux/x86/ then you
don't need the binpath attribute at all.
