We need a way to map some default mime types to extensions in OS/2,
similar to a mime.types file on Linux or the registry on Windows.

We have a couple ways to do this, and I need some opinions.

1. Actually use a mime.types files. This would be a text based file that
stored the extensions. The location of the file would be specified as a
preference.

2. Create an INI file in OS/2 (like MIMETYPE.INI or something silly)
that stored extension to mime type mappings.

3. Create a Mime Types entry in OS/2 ini that had all the extensions and
a corresponding mime type.

Note that options 1 and 3 only store extension to mime type mapping
whereas number 2 could actually store additional info like a default
application to start the mime type with.

What do people think is best?

Thanks
