Here is what you could do. 

1) Modify aflib.h - Add an enum type for aflibFileType. Such as
AFLIB_RAW_TYPE and
   AFLIB_CDR_TYPE. 

2) Modify aflibFile.cc - Add to function allocateModuleFile two cases
for each enum
   according to the format given.

Doing this should allow you to use these enums instead of
AFLIB_AUTO_TYPE.

I think you have brought up a good problem. I need to create a way to
load a file
format module without having to depend on a magic number.
