There are files in /usr/games that don't need a desktop file. For
example bsnes ships:
/usr/games/bsnes
/usr/games/bsnes-accuracy
/usr/games/bsnes-compatibility
/usr/games/bsnes-performance
The alternatives system sets which of the three other binaries is used
when bsnes is run. I only want a desktop file for bsnes (and I also want
the other binaries in /usr/games).
