So after I came back, I saw there were a pair of silly mistakes, but the
idea worked in general. I fixed it up and apparently all is ready now. As
I just said in another mail, I haven't been able to test this though due
to lack of roms.

Still pending

I think I fixed this, however we're missing a MESS icon and a desktop
file.

Additionally, we need a PNG (or ideally SVG) icon for MAME, as an XPM is
what the Debian menu policy mandates, but it's TOTAL SHIT for decent
application menu's like KDE's or GNOME's. If you haven't tried, you need
to see how fucked up the Applications menu looks in GNOME 3 if you have
the Debian menu with all those crappy icons enabled. Makes my eyes bleed!

Done too.

Any testers, or comments? :)
