[svn] If we can't figure out what the file is by mimetype, try using the file
command to figure out what it is instead.

This completely changes the program structure because now we might try to
use several extractors on a particular file before giving up. I haven't
really done the refactoring that would be appropriate for a change this
fundamental. I'd like to do that before the next release.
