Is this a standard tool?  What is it included with?  Synaptic has
never heard of it, and a Google search for mimetype turns up, of
course, practically every site that mentions MIME content types
in any context.  It's like trying to search for the NOW without
knowing what the acronym stands for.

Ah, now xml_grep I do have here...  however, according to the
man page, it's just looking for specific elements, which seems
inadequate.

It might be, if it's actually parsing the XML, but I don't know
how to evaluate that without knowing where to get the mimetype
command.
