[Tuxpaint-devel] New "PACKAGE_ONLY" Makefile variable

[Bill K. <nb...@so...>]

For a while now, Tux Paint has been using XDG tools (like
`xdg-icon-resource` and `xdg-desktop-menu`) to install & uninstall
launcher icons in the user's desktop GUI.

However, they apparently aren't flexible enough to play nicely with
folks who are trying to put together a package -- specifically, it
was Tim who helps maintain the Slackware Linux package, who pointed
out some workarounds that have been necessary to prevent Tux Paint
from 'polluting' their local environment.

I received a Makefile patch today, which I applied to the master
branch (what will become 0.9.31), and after making one slight
adjustment, it _seems_ to work fine for me under Kubuntu.

But, as usual, it's late and I need to be in bed. :)  So I'd
appreciate if folks could put additional sets of eyes on things,
and of course test to make sure that nothing breaks when you
try to build & package Tux Paint on your favorite platforms.

Here's the one commit related to this so far:
