A small patch to add some MPEG audio-video file extensions to the fat/vfat well-known binary extension table of the fat file system.

The patched table contains the file extensions that will not be automatically CRLF<-->NL converted when read from fat/vfat partition mounted with : 'mount -o conv=auto switch'. I've also included the man page changes.

;Unzip the man page before patching it.
