/* New way to come up with the low 16 bits of the magic number:

XXX Whatever the "old way" may have been isn't documented.
XXX This scheme breaks in 2002, as (2002-1995)*10000 = 70000 doesn't
fit in 16 bits.
XXX Later, sometimes 1 gets added to MAGIC in order to record that
the Unicode -U option is in use. IMO (Tim's), that's a Bad Idea
(quite apart from that the -U option doesn't work so isn't used
anyway).
