From my side, there is no confusion: this was a separate repo for getting 
feedback on the updated icon. The finished icon renders were then added to the 
Pd source repo. I didn't see the need for putting everything in the main repo 
when the icon is likely not to change for a long time after.

The mime type handling etc should be part of the auto tools set up or some sort 
of Linux/frteedesktop script in the main repo, probably in the platform 
specific linux folder with appropriate documentation. If it's a makefile, it 
could be located there with the needed build rules which are only applied on 
the needed platform, ie. `make mimetype`, and would be installed with the other 
files as needed (if they go into a generic free desktop-y location).
