Returns a dictionary mapping MIME types to a list of mailcap file
entries. This dictionary must be passed to the \code{findmatch()}
entries. This dictionary must be passed to the \function{findmatch()}
function. An entry is stored as a list of dictionaries, but it
shouldn't be necessary to know the details of this representation.
