Works well with AppImage apps.

# Why?
I know that Linux only has about 2% desktop usage and I know that the traditional way to install apps isn't portable, but over the past year or so I've started to put linux apps on my flash drive (AppImage is a great example of a portable solution to linux apps, not to mention DRM-free games), but there was no easy way to organize my linux apps, so I created one. I personally have used the PortableApps.com launcher for years now and I love how properly formated the apps are, which allows me to grab info about the app easily.

# Why script files?
In general linux executable files have no extensions and can be a pain when trying to figure out what is executable and what isn't. I figured script files are easy to detect and allow a large amount of flexibility for me (and others who want to make apps work with this launcher).

# What is needed?
Basically you need go to compile the source, AND YOU ALSO NEED TO MOUNT YOUR FLASH DRIVE SO YOU CAN EXECUTE FILES ON IT!!!! I've found that the mount arguments of `exec,noauto,nodev,nosuid,umask=0000` works well (I personally put my flash drive into /etc/fstab).

# Format
The first place the program looks for an app's icon and info is in the /App/AppInfo directory (icon defaults to appicon_32.png, otherwise it just picks the last one it finds), but if it can't find the appinfo.ini or app icon, it looks in the apps root directory for appinfo.ini and appicon.png for info and icon respectively(Just to make it easier for custom settings in an app).

# TODO
Add in support to show an app's icon.
Add in a common.sh that is executed with each script. (Allows for setting environment variables such as HOME)
MAKE IT BETTER
Add an open button (I know, I just wanted to get the initial working before making it user friendly)
(Maybe)Add an installer.
Check if all apps are closed when it closes and ask if you want to force stop the apps.
(Maybe)Create an installer.
