Does the windows version handle open office documents? Does it handle
anything beyond MS office document formats? I ask out of ignorance
because while it sounds useful, my guess is it is extremely limited,
and thus only useful in isolated situations, and probably would not
handle cases like:

 $file 87a09eb5a965893b1311534b646657f2c825ee78_medium

 87a09eb5a965893b1311534b646657f2c825ee78_medium: JPEG image data, JFIF standard 1.01, comment: "CREATOR: gd-jpeg v1.0 (using IJ"
