/etc/mailcap doesn't exist on OS X. Mapping from file types to
handler application is done via the LaunchServices database, which is
most easily accessed via the "open" tool:
(viewer . "open %s")
+ (type . "application/pdf")
As for the patch, calling pdf2ps and pdftops is not a good idea since
this stuff isn't installed unless the user explicitly installs them
(e.g. Ghostscript, which is mostly useless on the Mac).
What works, however, is to just use "open" with the PS files and let
LaunchServices deal with it. Current systems come with a preview.app
(which is what is normally launched for PDFs) that will automatically
convert PS to PDF and display that.
