XDG-APP for software development

[Daniel Espinosa]

Is it possible to add libgee to Builder bundle? May be on 3.20.2 released.

While Builder depends on Vala, many other app and libraries like GXml
depends on libgee. While this doesn't solve my issue, will help others to
use Builder in their favorite distribution with the help of xdg-app.
