Yes it pretty much depends on the portland tools to already be ported.
I agree and don't think its worth our effort to try and support our
own helper to parse or convert xdg when the bundle format is so
simple. We can reuse a lot of the internals of xdg support in the
menubuilder to convert icons and spew out data the plist's need
without having to try to teach OS X to support a non-native format.

I didn't think about this. Yes it would be possible to define the
variable there.

Heh yes perhaps their should be a variable to tell it to not generate
a menu at all.
