Ok, I mostly done it. It will depends on menu-xdg.
The only issue I have is that I need to include stuff in 
/etc/gnome-vfs-2.0/vfolders/applications-all-users.vfolder-info
automatically and I did not find any include directive.
The obvious <Include> /path/to/file </Include> does not work.

Anyone know a solution ?

Another option would be to patch GNOME to handle XDG .menu as some
others distros have done.
