Okay, here is another approach.  This one has every script
doing a 'source xdg-includes' (via xdg-utils-common.in).

I'm not entirely thrilled with it; it feels like a lot
of duplication for what could be argued is a semantic nicety.
It also creates the requirement that xdg-includes be
in the path, or in the exact same directory as any given xdg-xxx script
(previously, each xdg-xxx script was fully standalone).

But I have a hunch that we'll want something like this
for the long term, so, on balance, I think it's worth it.

Cheers,

Jeremy
