Looking at Debian bug 620372 reported by Gerald Combs, if
Debian's /etc/mime.types were to read

  application/vnd.tcpdump.pcap pcap cap

then that would be the nicest backwardly-compatible way out of their
use of the never-applied-for, never-allocated application/cap "MIME
type" for the .cap extension.

I've submitted a bug against Fedora's mailcap package asking for the
line above to be added to their /etc/mime.types.

I've written the config files for XDG, but I need an icon. Being totally
devoid of artistic talent, suggestions are welcomed.
