------- Additional Comments from Anders Carlsson <andersca at apple.com>
I like the general idea of this patch. However, it would be better if you could
check that a plug-in exists that can handle "application/x-oleobject" before
setting the service type. 

There is a PlugInInfoStore method called supportsMIMEType that can be used for
this. I don't think it has been implemented on Windows though, so you would
have to do that (just have it call PluginDatabaseWin::isMIMETypeRegistered).

Come to think of it, we might want to always check that there is a plug-in
available that supports a MIME type before mapping a classid to that MIME type.
