My perl script is designed to make it easy to add in new modules for
local additions at 'make' time.  (And of course, you can also
selectively omit any recognition modules you don't want.)  It does not
use an external database because no matter how many little fobs and
bells you allow in such a specification there will always be something
it can't describe that you want it to.  E.g. determining whether a NeXT
Mach executable is stripped requires traipsing through the file using
values you pick up along the way.
