Unless it has changed from 0.99.9b, 'cvsimport -k' will very much scramble
some binary files. '-k' passes the '-kk' option which causes CVS to strip
the keywords down. It needs to pass -ko through if you want it to be able
to handle binary files.
However, since CVS (RCS really) can remember the state of this flag, it
does work to 'cvs admin -ko filename' beforehand, and then do the
cvsimport without the '-k' option.
