LOOK! I FOUND ONE.

After much hunting I have hit on a Architecture-specific example files, the
odd thing is that although it is i386 specific, it will not run on Linux
without the aid of dosemu, because it is a DOS program.

Would this be allowed in /usr/share? It is an arch specific file, but not
strictly to any Linux architecture. A bit like a JPEG, but not really at all
like a JPEG file.
