I wasn't thinking of adding the xdg programs, but to check if they
exists, since at the moment they are part of "make install". I don't
know how OS X handles this, but I would imagine that they don't have the
xdg* scripts and therefore make would fail at the moment...

Still haven't found the time to look into it though...
