+1

we currently use the z3c.filetype package in a project, but yes - i  
think we should combine this stuff, the major usecase z3c.filetype is  
to apply  filetype interfaces to content objects based only on the  
content.

i will take a look at zope mimetype, and will then - as soon time  
allows - include the magicnumber stuff and the interfaces.filetypes
