[Esd-l] ANN: devel release - win exe magic poisoning

All:

Development release 1.136pre4 includes a new feature: checking for
base64-encoded Windows executable magic strings.

If you define SECURITY_POISON_WINEXE, then these checks take place
after the regular sanitizer runs, and should catch Windows executables
that have bogus innocuous filename and MIME types (e.g. audio/whatever
and "fnord.jpg") and are thus not caught by filename checks.

I'm testing it here, I'd also like some feedback from brave souls -
especially if it lets anything through that it shouldn't.

Any volunteers?
