Summary: Fileinfo extension try to guess the content type and encoding of a file

Description: 

The functions in this module try to guess the content type and encoding
of a file by looking for certain magic byte sequences at specific
positions within the file. While this is not a bullet proof approach
the heuristics used do a very good job.

Additionally it can also be used to retrieve the mime type
for a particular file and for text files proper language encoding.
