Hello,

While packaging liquidwar within a buildroot, i noticed that not everything in 
'make install' uses DESTDIR. The Makefile.in contains:

install_desktop:
        @echo "Installing desktop file in $(DESKTOPDIR)."
        @install -d $(DESKTOPDIR)
        @install -m 0644 misc/liquidwar.desktop $(DESKTOPDIR)

I think this should be something like:

install_desktop:
        @echo "Installing desktop file in $(DESKTOPDIR)."
        @install -d $(DESTDIR)$(DESKTOPDIR)
        @install -m 0644 misc/liquidwar.desktop $(DESTDIR)$(DESKTOPDIR)

The error returned during 'make install' as non root is:

Installing desktop file in /usr/share/applications.
install: cannot change permissions of `/usr/share/applications': Operation not 
permitted
make: *** [install_desktop] Error 1

After changing those lines, the installation into a buildroot works without 
problems. 

Kind regards and thanks for creating such a nice game!
