Hi, Ross

I backport some commits from upstream to fix CVE-2014-9620, and some of them involve the modifying of magic.h.in:

90018fe22ff8b74a22fcd142225b0a00f3f12677

ce90e05774dd77d86cfc8dfa6da57b32816841c4

And the final difference between magic.h and magic.h.in is:

So, if Makefile doesn't generate a new magic.h, there will be some "symbol undeclared" errors during compiling.

By the way, the upstream code has only magic.h.in, and no magic.h, which only exists in release version tarballs.

And I think the original magic.h is redundant.
