I *think* you can override the function that does the checking to have
it always return success.  

A quick look at the source code for upload.php from the latest pmwiki
shows this:

SDV($UploadVerifyFunction, 'UploadVerifyBasic');

And the function UploadVerifyBasic seems to return the empty string on
success, so perhaps you just need to add this to your local/config.php

function UploadVerifyGary($page,$file,$path) {
   return '';
}

$UploadVerifyFunction = 'UploadVerifyGary';

and it should let you upload anything. Though I imagine that you'll
lose content-type information for file suffixes that aren't in the
$UploadExt array.

BTW, caveat lector ... I've spent no more than 30 seconds looking at
the code, so I'm just guessing that this will work.  :-)
