Just FYI to the group, I created the following after having spent some time
looking at magic.sig. I placed them in general.sig and so far they seem to
do the trick on identifying OLECF (legacy MS Office) and OOXML (modern MS
Office) documents.

Seth indicated to me offline this would be reviewed and folded into the
next release.

For your immediate use.
