If you can work out a system so it fits in an ACAP dataset (Application
Configuration Access Protocol, currently a work in progress), that would
provide a way to access the same mailcap information as you move from host
to host.
An ACAP dataset is a list of entries, with each entry being made up of a
set of <attribute, value> pairs. So you could get entries like this:
name="Graphic Interchange Format" media-type=image/gif extension=gif
mac-type=GIFf mac-creator=JVWR unix-helper=xv magic=gif8
Windows-Helper=whatever ...
