I've made a small utility that scans MIME database (both system and user) and
register *all* known native mime-types in Windows registry.

It uses xdg-open to open if there is a default (native) application for that
mime type, otherwise uses packagekit to search for a package that can handle
that file (just like what Nautilus does)

By default it only registers native types that have no handler in windows
registry, but it can also override such associations (so, for example, jpeg
files are opened in native viewer instead of the default Gecko wine browser).
It can also ignore some extensions even if they have no handler in windows.

It tries its best to be winemenubuilder-friendly, meaning all associations it
creates is not published as native associations (or as x-wine-extension
mimetypes) by winemenubuilder, which would be ugly and potentially cause loops.
This is very tricky and not yet perfect, specially with mixed-case extensions
(.C and .c for example)

That said, I hope this script is helful for everyone:

Improvements welcome!
