[PD] file association on gnome

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

It would be great if someone could integrate this into packages/ 
linux_make/Makefile so that it would be included in the builds  
automatically.

I can lay out the makefile stuff now, if someone has the time to test  
it and tweak it.  For example, this command needs to be added to  
the .deb package installation process:

gtk-update-icon-cache /usr/share/icons/gnome/

Also, it would very useful to find out how to do this in the "Debian"  
way:

>     echo "application/pd-extended=pd-extended.desktop" >> /usr/ 
> share/applications/defaults.list
