BSD file command (TNEF-aware)

I'm not wholly convinced you need this though AMaViS trumpets loudly about needing such a beastie. Surely it does no harm?

cd .../file-4.16
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/${PWD##*/}
make
make install

Note

We don't copy the file command into /usr/local/bin (where it might be found) as we'll be pointing at it directly when we configure AMaViS.
