It might perfectly be that there's something strange with that SVN
client, because even if I make the file magic.mgc available to SVN by
additionally linking in one of the checked places or using the
environment variable "MAGIC", I see a lot of warnings about that file
being invalid:

Looks like the linked libmagic is incompatible anyway with the
provided file.

I'll keep that in mind, but have very limited time currently for
further research. No idea where to get symbol files from and stuff
like that...
