I'm done, at least I hope so!

I have absolutely no idea if this patch is correct, I'm sorry it's the  
first time i've done this.
The modified info.plist works for me in VLC, except the issue with the  
mkv icon I mentioned before.

The Patch

The Source Code aka PSDs

I'm happy if someone would check the patch to see he's okay.
