mime.types is needed for format extensions: i.e. when I want to
handle in my browser VRML (Virtual Reality Markup Language) [.vrm]
or RealAudio [.ra], I need to add those types to make them known.
I can't check right now, does U*IX Netscape have ability
interactively add extensions and viewers?
If not, we need to add mime.types too for this purpose.
