I am just the bug chaser here and don't use the library, but...
As I understand it, the format of the magic files themselves has
changed making the .mime file superfluous. The mime type information
is now included in the "normal" magic file. I don't think a program
has to do anything special, but old style two file magic/mime pairs
will have to be changed to the new style.

I am following up on the changing behavior of magic_load to no longer
append .mime in new upstream versions. Looking at the example
testmagic.c
program provided in the bug report at
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=500734
What behavior can I count on working on both old and new versions of
libmagic?
Is there one method I can use that will work on both or does some
sort of
check need to be added?
How would you modify that program to work in both cases?
Thanks,
