	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.

	\param mimeType The MIME type for which an application shall be found.

/*!
	\fn status_t BRoster::FindApp(entry_ref* ref, entry_ref* app) const
	\brief Finds an application associated with a file.

	The method first checks, if the file has a preferred application
	associated with it (see BNodeInfo::GetPreferredApp()) and if so,
	tries to find the executable the same way FindApp(const char*, entry_ref*)
	does. If not, it gets the MIME type of the file and searches an
	application for it exactly like the first FindApp() method.

	The type of the file is defined in a file attribute (BNodeInfo::GetType()),
	but if it is not set yet, the method tries to guess it via
	BMimeType::GuessMimeType().

	application and type are ignored and an entry_ref to the file itself is
	returned.

	\brief Launches the application associated with the entry referred to by
		   the supplied entry_ref.

	The application to be started is searched the same way FindApp() does it.

	If \a ref does refer to an application executable, that application is
	launched. Otherwise the respective application is searched and launched,
	and \a ref is sent to it in a \c B_REFS_RECEIVED message, unless other
	arguments are passed via \a argc and \a args -- then the entry_ref is
	converted into a path (C-string) and added to the argument vector.

	The supplied \a argc and \a args are (if containing at least one argument)
	put into a \c B_ARGV_RECEIVED message and sent to the launched application
	"on launch". The caller retains ownership of the supplied \a args.
	In case the method fails with \c B_ALREADY_RUNNING the message is
	delivered to the already running instance. The same applies to the
	\c B_REFS_RECEIVED message, if no arguments are supplied via \a argc and
	\a args.

	\param ref entry_ref referring to the file for which an application shall
		   be launched.
	\param argc Specifies the number of elements in \a args.
	\param args An array of C-strings to be sent as B_ARGV_RECEIVED messaged
		   to the launched application.
	\param appTeam Pointer to a pre-allocated team_id variable to be set to
		   the team ID of the launched application.

	\retval B_OK Everything went fine.
	\retval B_BAD_VALUE \c NULL \a mimeType
	\retval B_LAUNCH_FAILED_NO_PREFERRED_APP Neither with the supplied type
	        nor with its supertype (if the supplied isn't a supertype itself)

	\retval B_LAUNCH_FAILED_APP_NOT_FOUND The supplied type is not installed
	        or its preferred application could not be found.
	\retval B_LAUNCH_FAILED_APP_IN_TRASH The supplied type's preferred
