 r.in.srtm uses "file -ib" on the zip file to check if it has the correct
 mime type.  "-i" seems to be a very ambiguous way to specify the mime
 flag.  The BSD version of file (at least on OSX) uses "-i" for the "do no
 classify" regular files option, and "-I" (uppercase) for the mime option,
 though has "-i" for mime listed as a legacy option.  GNU file and old UNIX
 versions use "-i" for the mime option.  SUS does not have mime as a
 minimum option to support.

 It looks like all have  the extended "--mime" flag.  Attached is a patch
 to use that flag.  There should probably be a way to handle the
 possibility of a system having a "file" command without any mime flag, but
 I don't know how to handle that, and it may not be critical.
