I am putting out a new version of ifhp with an updated 'configure'
that will check for the correct 'file' behavior. I will put this
on the web site today:
>From the configure output:
creating libtool
checking for file... /usr/local/bin/file
/dev/stdin: ASCII text
the '/usr/local/bin/file -' operates correctly
