it is mostly not as hard as you might expect. I did some messing with 
the apps lens having never seen Vala code before and I got it doing what 
I wanted and sorting the applications into categories as per the gnome 
menu: http://people.ubuntu.com/~alanbell/appmenulens.png
I do want to rewrite this as a supplimentary lens that can sit alongside 
the main apps lens without conflicting with it so I will start again in 
python, but it was only just an hour or two to rip out the "recently 
used" and "stuff you don't have" categories and put in the familiar ones.

I will redo it in python with singlet and document the process
