Initial Comment:
>From an email from Cyrille:

try adding it to the packages
packages/linux_make/Makefile is the place to do it, should be pretty straightforward.
ok.


is it possible to just add thing like this : 
# add mime type to .pd files
	cp mime_pd-extended.xml /usr/share/mime/packages/pd-extended.xml 	update-mime-database /usr/share/mime # add icon to this mime type
# works curently only on gnome, is it possible to find a better way to do this?
	cp /usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/apps/pd.png /usr/share/icons/gnome/48x48/mimetypes/gnome-mime-application-pd-extended.png 	chmod 644 /usr/share/icons/gnome/48x48/mimetypes/gnome-mime-application-pd-extended.png 	gtk-update-icon-cache /usr/share/icons/gnome/ # adding pd by default on clicking on this files
	echo "application/pd-extended=pd-extended.desktop" >> /usr/share/applications/defaults.list

Message:
Ok, I just committed this stuff here, based on some work by Cyrille and
Patco.  Here's the original discussion:

http://lists.puredata.info/pipermail/pd-list/2008-09/065205.html

And the commit:

http://pure-data.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/pure-data?view=rev&revision=11307

I'll fold it into trunk once pd-extended 0.41.4 is released.
