Configuration of directories and filetype inclusion/exclusion to be analysed

Configuration of directories and filetype inclusion/exclusion to be analysed. Idea from @Wachizungu.

[adulau]

For file type, we need two strategies:

• Extension based
• mime/type based

[sthagen]

Would the mime/type based perspective just be an indirection of some extension to mime/type mapper or is data inspection a la unix file command planned?

In case it is the latter, I imagine taming that dragon may be hard esp. in a platform agnostic way.

I more often than not find myself writing my own system call and parsing interface to a native file program execution as my experience with the wrapping python libraries were not too encouraging.
