Hi Folks:

This has been a long time coming. I've ported Jerome's new Mime Type repository (based on freedesktop.org's mime system) to Tika, with most of the effort coming from Jerome and the legwork to clean it up for Tika coming from me :)

Comments appreciated. If there are no objections, I'd like to commit this in the next 48 hrs. There are some issues to talk through on this, which I'll send a separate email about soon.

> This patch will contribute a MimeType detection system for Tika, including MImeType data structure, and associated content-detection facilities. This will be based on Nutch's MimeType system as a baseline, however, I'm open to suggestions. Jerome Charron mentioned that he had an implementation of a MimeType system based on FreeDesktop.org's system. We should look into this as well.
