Summary: mimetypes.py does not find mime.types on Mac OS X

Initial Comment:
Python 2.3 and 2.4 (dunno about 2.5)

The mimetypes.py library does not find the mime.types files on Mac 
OS X. They are in:

/etc/cups/mime.types and
/etc/httpd/mime.types respectively.

As a result not all mimetypes are recognized by Python. The one in /
etc/cups is fairly limited, so including the Apache one as well seems 
like a good idea.
