gEDA-dev: Icons and mime types for gEDA files

Hi

Some time ago I got bored of all my gEDA files being marked as "Text
document" by GNOME. So I made a "package" XML file for the MIME database
[1] (it should also work with KDE). It describes MIME types for GSchem
schematic and symbol files, PCB layouts and gerber files.

I've been using this for a while now without problems. I know that magic
strings I used here aren't exactly reliable (specially for Gerber
files), but it seems to work correctly with files produced by recent CVS
versions of PCB and GSchem (and I don't think the file specifications
include a more reliable way of recognizing the file type)

I've also created some icons to go with schematics and symbol files [2].
I'll probably add PCB and gerber icons soon.

I think it would be nice if something like this could be included in the
official distribution. Having a ".desktop" file to add application
associations would also be nice.
