May I be allowed to express interest, too? :-)
Regarding the nonexistence of mime-type detection in APR:
1. There's no rule that says we can't add something like that to APR,
if the design is well thought out.
2. There's also no rule that says *all* our system-specific code
should come from APR. First, we have some such code in Subversion
(code that definitely doesn't fit into APR), and second, we can
get such code designed, coded and tested within Subversion, and
*then* push it into APR, if it turns out that's appropriate.
