diff of non- and working .menu files

When installing programs that create Start Menu shortcuts, any *.lnk files with
an & (ampersand) in the filename will be incorrectly converted into
freedesktop/Gnome .menu files.

In the generated .menu file, a reference to a .desktop file can be created
without properly escaping the & in the .desktop file name (replace & with
&).
This was tested by installing Tribes 2 from
http://renwerx.com/dl.cgi?tribes2_gsi.exe - the contents of Start
Menu\Dynamix\Tribes2\ will not appear (except for Classic\) under Gnome 2.20
due to the malformed .menu file.  Once escaped, the shortcuts appear as normal.

I presume this isn't specific to Tribes 2, but it is the only app I know of
that is subject to it.
