==== Description: ====
"mklauncher" is a command line tool that allows you to easily create launchers
for desktops that meet the "free desktop specifications".

Example :

# mklauncher -n "Savannah Non GNU" -e "xdg-open https://savannah.nongnu.org";
-i "mk-internet.png" -cat "Network"

For more details :

# mklauncher --help

Requesting little information from the user, and reading the files "Linux
/etc/passwd" and "FreeBSD /etc/master.passwd", "mklauncher" can create
".desktop" files for all users or only the current user. 

All users     =  [/usr/share/applications]
Current user  =  [/home/[Current user]/.local/share/applications]

Important details :

-)"mklauncher" updates the list of applications and also the current user's
desktop.

-)"mklauncher" includes a list of standard icons.

-)"mklauncher" allows you to manually enter the desktop folder, in case of a
detection error.

-)"mklauncher" allows to create launchers using ideographic characters, this
is possible thanks to the fact that "mklauncher" converts the names to a
"valid DBUS name".

-)"mklauncher" allows you to create symbolic links directly on the desktop of
the current user.

"mklauncher" is programmed in Free Pascal version 3.0.4 [2018/05/21]

"mklauncher" Uses the "Lazarus Component Library 1.8.4"

"mklauncher" Uses "Pascal motor 1.0.2"
