Wine is not the default for exe files but mono

[Paulo Levi]

Yeah, the problem is that both cli (mono runtime file detector) and
the wine (wine file detector) files in the  /usr/share/binfmts/ dir
have the same 'magic'.
I 'solved' it by uninstalling mono-runtime (it was only for tomboy
anyway), but there should be a way to distinguish this.
