Nice!  It doesn't look like it's specificly for codecs (and why
would it be?)  It's an Add/Remove Applications dialog, which we
badly need too, and it's probably set up as the default mime type
handler and their on-line package repository (which we also need...)
is searchable by mime type.  Really cool!
