Synopsis: file does not consider cyrillic text as text -- breaks apsfilter

State-Changed-Why: 
Making file(1) considering the user's locale is most likely the wrong
way to go.  Anyway, it won't help at all in the case of a daemon since
a daemon doesn't have a locale (there might be users of various
different locales active on the same machine simultaneously).

SysV's file(1) seems to do a much better job in identifying text
files, so it's not out of question that we might find a better
algorithm as well.  I assume they take some line length into
consideration.
