Everything under share/mime is regenerated from the files in
share/mime/packages by update-mime-database. There's no point in
including this generated files into PLISTs, as they are regenerated
anyway, and as they may change when more files are added to
share/mime/packages.
The idea is to not only change shared-mime-info but also all ports
adding files to share/mime/packages and @exec'ing update-mime-database.
I'll send an example diff for a port (or two) in an hour.
