Looking at this again, I realise that the official version only
associates .tex and .pdf with TeXworks on Windows, so the Mac version is
already going further! It's the TeX Live version of TeXworks that is
associated with .cls and .sty files on my system, and nothing at all
picks up .dtx 'out of the box'.

Now, I'm not sure what is 'correct' here. At the very least I suspect
that Windows and Mac OS X should be consistent. I'm not 100% sure that
TeXworks should be associating itself with .pdf (this is handy if you
have no other viewer installed, but that seems like an edge case to me).
Would a consistent list of:
 - .tex
 - .ltx
 - .sty
 - .cls
 - .dtx
be reasonable?

(I've left out .bib as there are a number of dedicated editors for
BibTeX files.)
