I usually use a CVSROOT file to specify the binary nature of files only
once for each extention.

You could add something like this to CVSROOT/cvswrappers
Note that I have uppercase variants in case window$ users
put something in cvs. Ugly.

The CVSROOT is updatable via cvs itself also. You do not need access
to the cvs server machine itself.
