No icon for phpmyadmin

[Fiable.biz]

Binary package hint: phpmyadmin

When a newbie has installed phpmyadmin, nothing happens and he doesn't know what to do, where to access this tool. PhpMyAdmin is a web application, but he isn't warned of this, and isn't taught the URI to go to. From the user point of view, MySQL administrator and PhpMyAdmin are the same kind of programs.
After phpmyadmin installation, I would expect an icon to appear in the "programming" menu, where MySQL administrator and MySQL query browser are. That icon would just open a page in the default web browser, at the right URI (like in Mandriva).

First of all this is kinda general problem of all webapps, not sure if there is some general rule for this.

More importantly the web server configuration is not enabled by default, what would in most case lead to broken menu item.

The general rule is: "Linux for humans".

Implemented and committed to package svn.
