[gobolinux-devel] Updating the mime database

[Jonas Karlsson]

Here's a patch to update the MIME database if the installed application  
includes a xml file, which defines its MIME types.
I've added some utility functions to Functions/File and a function to  
Functions/GoboLinux to rebuild the MIME DB. The MIME database should only  
be rebuilt if the application provides a xml file (placed in  
Shared/mime/packages).
One "glitch", as I see it, is that this will place actual file in  
/System/Links/Shared/mime (or wherever the ${goboShared}/mime directory  
is). But I guess sometimes we have to accept some files in the /S/L  
directory? Otherwice I don't know how to solve this.
