Products\Silva\mimetypes.py causes problems on Windows

[Benno Luthiger]

Silva 2.3 can't start on a Windows machine because of Products\Silva\mimetypes.py.
In this module, a list of locations where mime.types may be defined is given (_DEFAULT_MIME_TYPES).
However, this list makes sense only on Unix base systems and, therefore, the windows statrup procedure stops with a RuntimeError "Cannot find a mime.types file. Please add a configuration entry pointing to one."

[Sylvain Viollon (thefunny)]

This is already fixed (this was true in the first version of Silva 2.3), but is fixed in 2.3.6 at least. You can use in zope.conf a product configuration for silva to define the path of the mime_types file. In all recent Silva buildout a default file is provided for consistency.

    <product-config silva>
       mime_types /path/to/mime.types
    </product-config>
