I had a look for that and removed exe from the list, this did not help 
though - i think because it uses `file` to get the file type, so the 
extension does not matter, I could not see somewhere to let executables 
through - the only place i could see to work it out, was to allow the 
files for certain users (similar to virus-lovers I think) I have not 
played any further though.
