Proposal: MergeDir patch for kdelibs

[gcala]

Compiling wine made me though we could include MergeDir fix (required for right positioning of wine applications' entries in kmenu) directly in kdelibs.

Opinions?

[Anke Boersma]

As a non wine user, and keeping KDE vanilla as much as possible, I don't like to add these kind of changes.  But just one opinion.  Let's see what the majority thinks.

If it has no dangerous side-effects, I think we can include it.

@anke For me is a pro:

1) just one line of text
2) kdelibs already uses 2 applications_menu patches
3) is quite difficult to remember the text line and the correct file
to edit (and you must be root!!); if you miss the post installation
message or you update kde a newbie user is in trouble.

+1
most users currently do this fix manually, as the .install text says. this change is very simple and enhances usability. kde's dynamic menu system includes this functionality for this reason.

So the majority vote is obvious :)

kdelibs 4.9.2 rebuild with this patch, up in testing
