| ah yes, may be we can improve the output of file-tests

| 
| FAIL db/AppleDouble/AppleDouble
| Expected :application/octet-stream; charset=binary
| Got      :; charset=binary
| 
| FAIL db/DS_Store/DS_Store
| Expected :application/octet-stream; charset=binary
| Got      :; charset=binary
| 
| FAIL db/ani/animated_cursor.ani
| Expected :application/octet-stream; charset=binary
| Got      :; charset=binary
| 
| FAIL db/bin/vax
| Expected :application/octet-stream; charset=binary
| Got      :; charset=binary
| 
| 
| This is with git HEAD.

Yes... Apparently we can't have it both ways (softmagic returning 1
and not printing mime)... I will think of something else.
