No, don't. It's really lame, and returns obviously incomplete results. Maybe it 
only returns Cocoa apps; maybe it only returns apps that specify the type via 
explicit UTI and ignores type extensions & codes. Whatever, it's wrong for even 
common types like PDF & TIFF.

As far as I can, the only way to even come close to getting a list of apps that 
can open a file type, is to use a dummy file with the appropriate extension, 
and call LSCopyApplicationURLsForURL.
