Defines a set of well known mime types This is used as a fallback to mime.types files.

An extensive list of well known mime types is provided by the file mime.types in the includes directory.

This list concatenated with mime.types is used to create a mime <-> ext map. Each line contains a mime type followed by a space separated list of extensions. If multiple extensions for a single mime type exist or if multiple mime types exist for a single extension then in most cases MediaWiki assumes that the first extension following the mime type is the canonical extension, and the first time a mime type appears for a certain extension is considered the canonical mime type.

(Note that appending $wgMimeTypeFile to the end of MM_WELL_KNOWN_MIME_TYPES sucks because you can't redefine canonical types. This could be fixed by appending MM_WELL_KNOWN_MIME_TYPES behind $wgMimeTypeFile, but who knows what will break? In practice this probably isn't a problem anyway -- Bryan)
