Hello,

Add missing extensions
Add spaces where necessary (Joerg Jenderek)
assumed backslash expansion was possible in the message field of a magic
line. But it isn't, and therefore I get
| FDXMS286.SYS: DOS executable (character device driver\040XMSXXXX0)
| ^^^^
instead of
| FDXMS286.SYS: DOS executable (character device driver XMSXXXX0)
The obvious way to fix that was to use trailing spaces instead of \040 -
something I'd prefer to avoid though.
Aside, there are already quite a few trailing space in Magdir. I reckon
not always by intention.
