Thanks again to my old friend Ulf "rsta" Hrnhammar for keeping us all on our toes! :) This should also hopefully fix the problems people have been having with their installations claiming that perfectly good PDF files are not allowed file types.

• The "more reliable way" of determining MIME types turned out to be less reliable. Go figure. There seems to be no perfect way of performing a reliable check for MIME-types on an uploaded file that is also truly portable. I have now made checks for the availability of mime_content_type() before using it, using the old method as a fall-back. It is far from beautiful, so if anybody has a better way of doing it, please contact me!
