That works for *my computer* or if I ship a build with the program, but
what if the user (or even the program) needs mime? Even if they don't
need it, explaining to your users that they should recompile is quite a
pain.
Until the penalty (around 7 seconds - depending on the disk cache) of
loading every mime database on the system can be eliminated by
something other than a compile-time feature-removal option, I can't see
XRC as a viable option.
