yes exactly,

and to satisfy both worlds, i propose to add new env var, that can be 
left empty by default and interested ones can set value which is 
appeneded text/* mime types.

mimetype_charsetheader = "; charset=\"utf-8\""

instead of current:

mimetype_textcharset = "utf-8"

and mime.types would contain:

     ".wmls"        => "text/vnd.wap.wmlscript" + mimetype_textcharset,

instead of
     ".wmls"        => "text/vnd.wap.wmlscript; charset=" + 
mimetype_textcharset,
