Restrict wrong-script-interpreter warning to executable files
(From http://rpmlint.zarb.org/cgi-bin/trac.cgi/ticket/84, dmueller@…)
the wrong-script-interpreter warning has way too many false positves because of various file formats that start with a shellbang, even though they're not supposed to be executed.
my workaround was to only apply the check for executable files.

Could you give some examples of file formats for which this patch would bring benefits?

there are a couple of packages that contain config files that start for whatever reason with a shellbang, even though they're not marked as executable.
my question would be why to check for shellbang in a file that is not executable: if you try to run it, it won't run as its not marked as executable, so you have to know already which interpreter to use.

the texmf config files are only one liners, so another way to suppress it would be to check if the file has more than one line.
