Nope, .it files are a module file format from the nineties, and we've
got that in gnome-vfs.mime:
audio/x-it
ext: it IT
so that's not surprising README.it is detected as a music file :p
Looking at this file format spec from
http://www.wotsit.org/download.asp?f=it it seems that it can be sniffed
(the charset of the doc is bad so maybe I misread it) instead of being
detected by extension. Btw, according to the code, gnome-vfs does case
insensitive matches on file extensions, so maybe gnome-vfs.mime could be
cleaned up a little ?
