ananke/heuristics/famicom.hpp already has a check, but
ananke/famicom.cpp doesn't check for info.markup=="".  I'll see if I can
propagate a failure from there.

There's an interesting comment at the bottom of that file:
//this currently cannot work:
//game folders discard iNES header required for heuristic detection
//a games database of all commercial Famicom software will be required
string Ananke::syncFamicom(const string &pathname) {
  return "";
}

...and I see there's already a Super Famicom database.
