[Mono-dev] file(1) mono assembly magic support (for Linux distribution maintainers)

[Paolo Molaro]

Hi.
People packaging mono for Linux or other systems should
forward this mail to the proper person/bugzilla etc that handles the
packaging for the file command. Suse has already this change, Debian has
already it filed in a bug report. It has been sent also to the current
file maintainer.
Apply this patch to the magic file to recognize Mono/.Net assemblies.
