[cvsnt] cvs ignoring .dll files

I've noticed that newer versions of cvsNT ignore .dll, .exe, etc. files 
when doing a "cvs -nq up" or similar.  I have to assume this is a bow to 
Microsoft's practice of putting the output into the source tree.  But 
real projects don't run that way for a lot of reasons.  If there is a 
DLL in my source tree, it is meant to be part of my source, or some bad 
build artifact that I need to know about.  So is there a switch or 
environment variable so that cvsNT will not ignore these file types?

Thanks
