[gdal-dev] Files without .dxf extension result invalid

Yes, the DXF driver currently uses the .dxf extension as the only criterion to
determine if a file is DXF or not.

Yes, the driver could possibily be improved to also look at the first lines and
guess if they look like valid DXF. Although it must be extremely uncommon to
have dxf files without .dxf extension.
