WinVICE r45510 is released. WinVICE is a program that executes programs intended for the old 8-bit computers. The current version emulates the C64, the C128, the VIC20, all the PET models (except the SuperPET 9000, which is out of line anyway), the PLUS4 and the CBM-II (aka C610).

Gtk3: make evdev the only driver for Linux
Remove deprecated /dev/joy API in favor of evdev's /dev/input, which has been

XDG desktop files: use `$(DESTDIR)${prefix}` for installation
As suggested by Rhailto, use `--dir-=$(DESTDIR)${prefix}/share/applications` as
argument to `desktop-file-install` to support "normal" installation of .desktop
files through `make install` and allow for staged installs. Update the rules
to remove the .desktop files on `make uninstall` in the same vein.
With the default prefix of `/usr/local` that VICE's configure uses, the .desktop
files end up in `/usr/local/share/applications`, a directory that didn't exist
on my Debian system with Gnome, but which is created by `desktop-file-install`
and the .desktop files are processed by `update-desktop-database` and VICE's
application icons show up in the Gnome application overview and correctly launch
the emulators.
Note the use of `${prefix}` rather than `$(PREFIX)`, the later was empty on my
`make install`, resulting in .desktop files in `/share/applications` in the
root file system =)

XDG desktop files: handle make's DESTDIR to allow for staged installs
Update the calls to `desktop-file-install` to pass $DESTDIR as its `--dir`
argument so installing into a staging directory as a non-root user will place
the .desktop files into their proper location. The installation of icon files
with `xdg-icon-resource` into a staging directory will require some equivalent
logic to be applied (working on that).
Also add dashes in front of the calls to `update-desktop-database` to have
`make` ignore the failure of said program when not running as root.
See bug #2127.
