Hey Keith,

 No problem at all and I am fine with the commit first review later policy.
I just want to make sure that Tika isn't driven by internal developer
deadlines: trust me you don't want to see the ones I have at JPL :) We'd all
be huddled around our computers committing things every 5 minutes but that's
another story ;)

 Anyhoo, about the MimeTypes.load() call logging message: would perhaps
setting the LOG level to LOG.fine() or LOG.finest() address your issue?
There's a bigger overall issue here and that's closing the loop on which
logging facilities we use in Tika (my +1 for JDK logging again). Because
once we've chosen a logging facility, a user can control whether or not that
message gets printed in her local configuration by modifying the appropriate
logging level and suppressing the others.

Cheers,
  Chris
