Hi folks,

I've had some interesting comments from David Bushong, motivating for
inclusion of his Magdir candidate on PR 12554. He makes a strong case
for a bloated file(1) Magdir. The only thing we're battling with is a
filename for his submission.

Just because a bloated file(1) magic database is good, doesn't mean we
want a zillion files in the Magdir source, though.

So I propose a new file wintendo, for all gaming file formats used on
the MS Windows platform.

Sensible objections?

Ciao,
Sheldon.
