* Other:

* Changes in the package:
- Add a buildlink3.mk file to be used to add a direct dependency on this
package. This file also creates a fake "update-mime-database" wrapper
in the buildlink directory so that programs can't run it directly
during its build.
- Add the mimedb.mk file, which can be used by packages that install
mimedb extensions (into share/mime/packages) to automatically rebuild
the database at (de)installation time.
- The mime database files (except those installed into share/mime/packages)
must not be listed in the PLIST, so add some PRINT_PLIST_AWK magic to
handle this automatically.
* Mime Types Changes:
- Added various aliases
- Make text files inherit from text/plain
- Added text/x-xmi
- Added application/x-javascripta
* Translations:

Korean (Cha Young-Ho)

Many programs and desktops use the MIME system to represent the types of
files. Frequently, it is necessary to work out the correct MIME type for
a file. This is generally done by examining the file's name or contents,
and looking up the correct MIME type in a database.
For interoperability, it is useful for different programs to use the same
database so that different programs agree on the type of a file, and new
rules for determining the type apply to all programs.
This package contains the core database of common types and the
update-mime-database command used to extend it.
