Summary: Better detection of binary files

Initial Comment:
The current (at least in v1.21) binary detection fails
when non-ASCII characters are used. This patch fails a
bit better there.  Another idea would be to detect
files tagged as binary in CVS (i.e.  -kb)

Hi! 
 
What's the current status of this item? 
 
We have many files that contain a few french accents, and 
for which we don't get our diff's by email since they are 
considered as binary, which is annoying! 
 
Thanks in advance! 
                                                    Nicolas

I'll work on a change that uses "rlog -h" to get the binary
flag from CVS, so we really get this right.  Would be nice
if CVS understood text in better ways than it does now.
