I don't want to hide this.

My intention is to share entries with all Mew users. This is because
it is very hard to configure entries in mew-mime-content-type
correctly.

Typical users might not be able to create an entry like this:

    ("video/mpeg"      "\\.mpe?g$" mew-b64 mew-prog-video mew-icon-video)

Thus, Mew gathers entries and provides indirect mechanism for programs
to be called.

What users should do is only set mew-prog-video.

E.g.
	(setq mew-prog-video '("xine" ("--auto-play") t))

Again, entries should be shared. And users should specify programs to
be called.
