  Log:
  Actually, we're not trying to reinvent the wheel here,
  rather adapt it to suit a slightly different purpose.
  
  Below are a few main points and reasons as to why we've created filetype:
  
      * file does not work so well for loosely defined filetypes ( ie, vCards )
      * file uses a text-based type database which can impose unwanted delays
         in frequently invoked processes
      * file does not have a heirachial type tree (ie, executable->MSDOS->EXE )
      * file is not designed to be incorporated at a source level into existing
        projects
      * Simpler and broader type detection engine ( 'file' is very good at
         pulling out every detail about a file, ie, the resolution of an image,
         however we do not wish to seek out such fine details )
