    Add a new target: install_desktop_files which installs some files for
    use with a freekdesktop (at least I think so).  This stuff was taken from
    Fedora's Wireshark RPM.

    The intent is to a) use Wireshark's own files and b) remove most of the
man$
    installation steps from RPMs.

It's apparently a GNUism; the man page on my Fedora 16 virtual machine says:

  SYNOPSIS
       install [OPTION]... [-T] SOURCE DEST

  DESCRIPTION

            ...

       -T, --no-target-directory
          treat DEST as a normal file

            ...
