FYI:

I looked at they work, and I have discarded their api. It does not
have a namespace (consistent naming of functions), does not report
errors properly, and has no way to pass in flags.  In other words,
it is nothing more than a single afternoon's hack.  I am still
working on integrating patches from libmagic that was sent to me
via e-mail.
