-----------------------------------------------------------
For that file, I'm getting {{application/x-msdownload; format=pe32}} from Tika
App, which is a subtype of {{application/x-msdownload;format=pe}} which is a
subtype of {{application/x-msdownload}}
{{application/x-dosexec}} is the mimetype which has the {{.exe}} glob, and
that's also a subtype of {{application/x-msdownload}}
The problem is that a windows 32 bit DLL will also be detected as
{{application/x-msdownload; format=pe32}}, and that shouldn't be
{{application/x-dosexec}}
This might need some thought...
If anyone has some time, it'd be interesting to know what other mime-based
tools use for windows DLLs and EXEs

> If it is ok, *.exe must be included in application/x-msdownload glob pattern
> definitions. If it should be detected as application/x-dosexec, the hierarchy
> between application/x-dosexec, application/x-msdownload and PE based formats
> must be changed.
