I'm looking for a way register a new URI Scheme via config file
like adding a new appl or menu.  I saw C API references to, 
for instance, supported_uri_schemes in VFS and Mimetype Handling, 
but no config file support.  There are a number of references to
scrollkeeper for doing something similiar.

Is the list of recognized URI Schemes hardcoded into yelp, or the GNOME
libraries?  I'm just looking for a way for yelp to say, "Yes, I recognize
this as a valid URI scheme."
