Whoo, looks cool.  Could you post the source code (or prefreably a
unified diff against CVS HEAD) somewhere?

Yes, this is a known fact, the MIME type handling has been enhanced, but
it still needs work before 3.0.  Suggestions and patches welcome... more
info in the 2.9.1 announcement:

Currently I'm thinking that the first step towards the right direction
would be to have a list of regexps in cvsweb.conf, @text_types,
indicating which MIME types can in general be handled as text.
