Ship .desktop file

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Would be great if OpenTyrian could ship a desktop file, as well as a 256x256 
icon, so it shows up in desktop environments.

There's currently no desktop files shipped, and the biggest icon is 128x128. A 
512x512 icon would allow support for hi-dpi systems.

We *do* ship a desktop file, it's at linux/opentyrian.desktop. Are you having 
problems with it?

Regarding the icon, the size maxes up at 128x128 because that's the size of the 
original sprite. If we added larger sizes they would be just upscales. I guess 
we could upscale them using hq?x so they turn out a bit nicer, but I'm not sure 
if the results are worth it.

I completely missed the .desktop file in the original tarball, as I based my 
package for Fedora upon an older build that shipped its own .desktop file. The 
.desktop file looks fine, thanks.

Having 256x256 and 512x512 icons that "good" upscaled versions would be useful. 
That means that instead of upscaling fuzzily (which the desktop environment 
would do), we'd ship ones that keep the "8-bit" look.
