[Cvsnt] Binary Files

If you're using the command-line client, you must add the files using "cvs
add -kb file", so that CVS knows that it's binary. Otherwise it will try to
change the newlines in the file, which corrupts the file. TortoiseCVS has a
nice feature where it recognises binary files by their extentions.
