 But I think we'd know that by now...

 I just upgraded my copy to v2.2 and can confirm that
 - there's still only a helper application in this port, no shared
 libraries for working with the mime files
 - building +universal with the muniversal PG works on Intel too
 - running the i386 (32b) version or the x86_64 (64b) version of `update-
 mime-database` leads to bit-identical `$prefix/share/mime/mime.cache`
 files. Sadly I cannot verify if the file is also endian-agnostic (but are
 there any users installing arm+intel fat binaries?!)
