MAKR 2008-12-08: I wrote this extension as a finger flexing exercise. It basically provides the functionality of the Unix' file(1) command [L1 ] [L2 ].

MAKR 2009-03-09: Things to do:

  • respect DESTDIR in all install-targets
  • add --with-libmagic to configure-script
  • consider replacing AC_CHECK_LIB with AC_SEARCH_LIBS
