No release for the moment. My work is only the beginning of a bigger
rework. I have still a lot of work to do, but no time to do it :)

- handling of crystalsvg-themes install by configure option
- handling of a GNOME themes install by configure option
- ICONPATH has to be added to GNOME 2.4 MIME support, if this should be
installed (Icons have to point to @iconpath@/icon.png in
chemicalmime.keys and ICONPATH must be set with configure) or if choosen
it has to be installed into an theme (maybe as an addition to
gnome-themes)
- the freedesktop.org shared mime info database file has to extended
with format descriptions to determine the MIME type by file description
(I know, this will be the hardest part)
- chemicalmime.keys should have more info (I've found some useful stuff
in gnome-vfs.keys/.mime to determine, which information should be added)
- ROX and maybe XFCE4 support has to be added

I have to add more configure stuff, because the KDE and GNOME projects
actually use the same MIME support base (freedesktop.org), but the
package should also be installable for Distributions with Gnome 2.4 or
KDE < 3.3. And therefor I have to read a lot of stuff. But I have rare
really time to do this. At he moment I feel like that I will never get
anywhere ;)

Jean Br=E9fort (from the Gnome chemistry utils, gchempaint and gcrystal
projects) suggested further to add pkg-config stuff. This is also one
thing, which has to be done and I have absolutely no idea how.
