[mojosetup] Plans for adding system menu entries

[Nemo Der]

I wrote a quick and dirty postinstall function to create a freedesktop
compliant menu item for my installer:

local function post()
    os.execute("mkdir -p " .. MojoSetup.info.homedir ..
"/.local/share/applications/")
    io.output(MojoSetup.info.homedir ..
"/.local/share/applications/spring.desktop")
    io.write("[Desktop Entry]\n")
    io.write("Name=Spring\n")
    io.write("Comment=An open source RTS game like TA\n")
    io.write("Exec=" .. MojoSetup.destination .. "/springstart.sh\n")
    io.write("Icon=" .. MojoSetup.destination .. "/spring.png\n")
    io.write("Terminal=false\n")
    io.write("Type=Application\n")
    io.write("Categories=Applicatoin;Game;StrategyGame;\n")
end

Setup.Package
{

    id = "Spring",
    description = "Spring RTS",
    version = "0.75b2",
    splash = "springlogo.bmp",
    superuser = false,
    recommended_destinations =
    {
        MojoSetup.info.homedir,
        "/opt/games",
        "/usr/local/games"
    },
    postinstall=post,

..etc..

Doing it this way requires changing the make.sh to compile with the
Lua IO and OS functions though.
