Mime-types are stored in "/usr/share/mime/". Per-package types are in
"/usr/share/mime/packages/<package-name>.xml". XML DTD is
http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/shared-mime-info

Launcher info is stored in /usr/lib/mime/packages/<package-name>

e.g. "/usr/lib/mime/packages/openshot" :
-----
application/x-openshot-project; /usr/bin/openshot '%s'; test=test -n
"$DISPLAY"; priority=5
-----

As I understand it, the icon is determined from the "openshot.desktop"
 "Icon=openshot.png" line. I'll test this to be sure.

I'll add the required mime-type files to the source so it can be added
to the bzr trunk, and also the required debian-specific processing to
ensure it as added to the user's system.
