Note:
    * Just providing a package name is enough to generate a .desktop file.
    * Providing a PKGBUILD filename instead of flags is a possibility.
    * "$startdir/PKGBUILD" is the default PKGBUILD filename.
    * _exec in the PKGBUILD can be used to specify a different executable for
      the .desktop file. Example: _exec=('appname-gui')
    * Split PKGBUILD packages are supported.
    * If a .png, .svg or .xpm icon is not found as a file or in the PKGBUILD,
      an icon will be downloaded from either the location specified in the
      configuration or from: http://www.iconarchive.com
      (This may or may not result in the icon you wished for).
    * Categories are guessed from keywords in the package description,
      unless specified.
    * Icons are assumed to be found in "/usr/share/pixmaps/" once installed.
    * Adding translations for many languages is not supported by gendesk,
      but it is possible to first generate a file, and then add translations.
