I went looking around Mk/Uses for targets not using helpers, ended up with

No, dynamic plists are evil you don't check what end up in the package, and
it's a mess.

The only exception is ruby gems and python modules because things change
too much between ruby/python versions and it can't be done another way.

| Well, here are a bunch more ... these contain both INSTALLS_ICONS and
| "autoplist", which I'm assuming comes from USES_GNOME=autoplist

I think you mean USE_PYTHON=autoplist, but the python autoplist feature
only grabs stuff in the python module directory, so not icons.
