Neat stuff!

I hate to complain, mostly because it's been months since I've
contributed a single line of code, but when I see "MIME_Magic" I
assume that it's going to be using magic numbers, not extensions
(since that's what "magic" refers to when talking about file types). 

Perhaps something like MIME_Ext or MIME_FileExt would be more apropos?
I only suggest it because at some point we might want to actually
*use* magic to determine file types..
