xdg_mime 0.1.0 (preview)

Initial release of the xdg_mime crate.

You should consider this a "preview" release; the API hasn't been
finalized, yet, but I consider this the minimum safe set of symbols to
expose for the time being.

Basic functionality

• load the system shared-mime database
• get the list of possible MIME types for a file name
• get the MIME type for a chunk of data
• compare two MIME types for equality, including aliases
• look up icon names for a given MIME type
• look up all the parent types for a MIME type

Planned future improvements

• better documentation
• more examples
• an implementation of the recommended checking algorithm as
  defined by the shared-mime-info specification
• explicit database reloading
• memory mapped mime.cache support

Further improvements

• MIME type handlers
• accessing the XML data
