I'm paused on a guile-mime project that reads a XDG Shared MIME-Info
globs2 database[0]:

  https://gitorious.org/guile-mime

I was planning on continuing it's development shortly.  Do you agree
with that approach?

If you want to cooperate on an effort, that's fine with me.

(The database is distributed with most GNU/Linux distributions and can
be referenced with the `xdg*` commands on the system.)
