gfile-test.c

The problem is how actually determine whether shared lib is executable. `file
--mime-type` applied against these binaries says 'application/x-sharedlib',
g_file_query_info contains the same mime type. But in glib opinion this type is
not executable (g_content_type_can_be_executable for 'application/x-sharedlib'
will return FALSE). I'm attaching a simple program which demonstrates this
behavior.

There should be another way to check whether file is executable instead of
relying on mime type.
