As I was explaining in my email with the backends, on Windows and Mac Qt could 
use its own freedesktop.org.xml file, if no file is found in the standard 
paths.

To go even further, Qt could have code to generate the binary mime.cache so 
that the next time, it doesn't need to parse the XML, but loads binary data 
into memory instead.

In any case I don't see how Qt Creator is special at all, it's just yet 
another application that uses qmime, with default mimetypes from the "system" 
and user-modified mimetypes in the user's dirs. I see no reason at all for it 
to have its own private mimetype database.
