I realize that constructing such a system is fun, but is there a reason you don't just use an existing solution? The classic approach would be the "file" tool, which comes with its own database. If you can't just rely on the file program itself, perhaps you could use its database (generally found as /etc/magic on systems supporting "file") and not have to re-invent that particular wheel?
