You can also imagine a "-v" switch, which would make this function print
the full path (with its $D prefix) of the file.desktop it has created.
This way, people could do:

  src_install() {
    ...
    local desktop_file=$(make_desktop_entry -v ...) || die
    echo "MimeType=..."  >> "${desktop_file}"
    ...
  }

I don't say this solution is better than the "cruft" parameter though,
it's really a matter of taste.
