Isn't this just reimplementing mailcap? You want to read it at runtime,
incidentally, because mailcap can be updated as new viewer programs are
installed. Doing anything at configure time that asks "what binaries are
installed" is a bad idea because for packages built by distros the answer
will be "very little in the build environment" and package users could
have anything at all.
