Just to show what I mean I've cooked up a little tool (al-mime). The PKGBUILD is attached. The tar ball lives at [1], and the bzr branch can be branched from [2]. I'll be adding some package files (I'll start with packages I use) later today. Ideally those files whould move into the respective packages to make sure the /etc/mailcap only contains rules for applications that can be executed. (It would be possible to only add rules for apps that are installed, that'd work but IMNSHO it wouldn't be right.)
