Where did freedesktop.org get the magic bytes? I assume (probably stupidly) that some of that has to be in a file command on some BSD.

Here's what the magic bytes look like in FreeBSD, as an example I've linked to the definition of PNG. You can see it's a fair bit more complicated but it does have mime and extension data.
