Please give me some time (I am very busy now), I will add the option you
want. I am not very happy with the patch. It should parse ~/.mime.types
or /etc/mime.types files. And if, instead, we use your hardcoded approach
to include file extentions in the script itself (disallowing users to
affect them), then Perl has hashes for this, something like:
my $extension_mime_types = {
zip => 'application/zip',
cpio => 'application/x-cpio',
...
};

Getopt::Long(3) gives a possibility for this elegant syntax:
--mime-icon text/html=html.png --mime-icon text/plain=text.png
I will add --mime-icon and --mime-exec (working similarly) later,
together with --use-mailcap.
