/*!	\brief Finds an application associated with a MIME type.

	The method gets the signature of the supplied type's preferred application
	and the signature of the super type's preferred application. It will also
	get all supporting applications for the type and super type and build a
	list of candiate handlers. In the case that a preferred handler is
	configured for the sub-type, other supporting apps will be inserted in the
	candidate list before the super-type preferred and supporting handlers,
	since it is assumed that the super type handlers are not well suited for
	the sub-type. The following resolving algorithm is performed on each
	signature of the resulting list:
	The MIME database is asked which executable is associated with the
	signature. If the database doesn't have a reference to an exectuable, the
	boot volume is queried for a file with the signature. If more than one file
	has been found, the one with the greatest version is picked, or if no file
	has a version info, the one with the most recent modification date. The
	first application from the signature list which can be successfully
	resolved by this algorithm is returned. Contrary to BeOS behavior, this
	means that if the preferred application of the provided MIME type cannot
	be resolved, or if it does not have a preferred application associated,
	the method will return other applications with direct support for the MIME
	type before it resorts to the preferred application or supporting
	applications of the super type.
