GIO does something like this in g_content_type_is_a(): http://git.gnome.org/browse/glib/tree/gio/gcontenttype.c#n482 As you can see it uses xdgmime which is shipped along with the GLib source code (gio/xdgmime/ in the glib repository). That's not on Windows though where g_content_type_is_a() is implemented differently (also in gcontenttype.c).
