Right, but that's not a problem as I'm not using windows (remember, I just
want to use -kb for _my_ checkout for arch synchronization), and as the -kb
option to cvs update apparently overrides file-specific settings, it seems
necessary to use an option which preserves file-specific -kb settings on
binary files.
