Scanning a binary for a string strikes me as an extraordinarily bad idea!

Can't we read the version from /usr/share/pkgconfig/shared-mime-info.pc
instead? This is exactly what that file is installed for (and in fact other
packages also use it at runtime, that's why that file is not relegated to a
-devel package in Fedora, and I'd expect other distributions to also ship this
in the runtime shared-mime-info package for that reason), and it'd be both much
faster and less prone to trouble (e.g. scanning the executable breaks if
somebody compresses it with upx!) than scanning the binary.
