[openbeos] MIME type definition

Hello,
while working on the implementation of the bin-utilities addattr and
catattr (adds and dumps content of an attribute, respectively) I noticed
something worth looking at.
As many of you know each attribute type is defined by a 32-bit constant.
Those values are defined in /boot/develop/headers/be/support/TypeConstants.h
When testing my versions of these utilites I noticed that while B_MIME_TYPE
in this file is defined as 'MIME' (and therefore my utilities use that
value) Be's original versions (and the rest of the OS, I'm afraid) define
it as 'MIMS'.
Of course the new versions won't work if compiled against incorrect values.
What should I/we do about it? I guess changing the value in the header file
is the right thing to do, but I wanted to know your opinions about this.
Regards,
Sebastian
