Some absolute path are hardcoded #5

Some absolute pathes are hardcoded in some code. So, if you set and installation path via --prefix the program doesn't work:

I found some /usr/local in the static/michisoft-tsunami.desktop
I found some /usr/local/share in src/lib/hui/Application.cpp

Yes, that restriction is due to my cheap build system. And my 2 users have not complained so far... I've been very busy recently. Hopefully next week I can have a look. It might be an easy fix, but I don't want to promise. For now, if you want to try the program, you can run it without installing. Just make it and run ./tsunami in the repository root folder. Thanks for your curiosity :)

Well, it took a bit longer, due to life. But I finally managed to upgrade the build system.

Now, a CMakeLists.txt is generated automatically, and should allow regular cmake usage including --prefix (at least it worked on my machine).

The src/lib/hui/Application.cpp will now respect the prefix via macros (even when using the clumsily provided Makefiles that are now mostly obsolete). The .desktop file will be changed when installing.

I would very much appreciate it, if you could try it out and complain if it fails. Thanks!
