hm, the same problem here
currently our company has no time to do this merge, but if you have  
time, i'll be available if you have questions

i am the maintainer of the z3c.filetype package, which is in  
production use for our projects together with z3c.extfile

the main motivation for z3c.filetype was to extract the content type  
from large binary files without using the file extension information,  
we use this for media formats, afaik zope.mimetype goes further when  
it comes to textual content and encodings, but you are right they  
share a lot.

regards, Bernd
