+# Cafe Babes unite!
+#
+# Since Java bytecode and Mach-O fat-files have the same magic number, the test
+# must be performed in the same "magic" sequence to get both right. The long
+# at offset 4 in a mach-O fat file tells the number of architectures; the short at
+# offset 4 in a Java bytecode file is the JVM minor version and the
+# short at offset 6 is the JVM major version. Since there are only
+# only 18 labeled Mach-O architectures at current, and the first released
+# Java class format was version 43.0, we can safely choose any number
+# between 18 and 39 to test the number of architectures against
+# (and use as a hack). Let's not use 18, because the Mach-O people
+# might add another one or two as time goes by...
