If we want to use it with/in other programs it _may_ be important. We
also need to give credit.

Yes, and it's the largest one:
---snip---
% grep / /usr/local/etc/apache/mime.types | wc -l
581
% grep .xml /usr/ports/misc/shared-mime-info/pkg-plist |wc -l
383
% grep / /usr/X11R6/share/gnome/mime-info/gnome*.mime |wc -l
430
---snip---
TODO:
- where to install:
* PREFIX/etc/mime.types
* PREFIX/share/...
- perhaps sync with those other ones
- identify ports which are able to make use of it and patch them
* I suggest to create a page at wiki.daemon.li (not reachable ATM)
with a list of ports
Bye,
Alexander.
