But this port depends upon an xml parser. I was talking about those
simple "mime.types" files used in e.g. apache, sylpheed and some other
internet related programs:
---snip---
application/mac-binhex40        hqx
application/mac-compactpro      cpt
application/macwriteii
application/marc
application/mathematica
application/mathml+xml          mathml
application/msword              doc
application/news-message-id
application/news-transmission
application/ocsp-request
application/ocsp-response
application/octet-stream        bin dms lha lzh exe class so dll dmg
application/oda                 oda
application/ogg                 ogg
