I have the freedom to release it as an open source library (possibly
LGPL), so I'm wondering, is there any interest having something like
that integrated in Haiku?
Hard to say upfront :-)
If it actually improves anything, and manages to stay somewhat
compatible, it would be hard to say no. The MIME database is pretty
entangled in the system, and also has Haiku specific data in it.
But I don't really see what you assume to improve over our current
solution; as far as I'm aware of, the only issues with our
implementation is related to multi user and package management.
And also, as Francois pointed out, if it would be possible to reuse
resources maintained by other people, that might generally be
beneficial, too.
