Cvs import bug with binary files on Win32

Subject: Cvs import bug with binary files on Win32

    Hi!
 I found in the Win32 cvs version an odd thing (Not so serious, but very annoying):
 When I import more times the same binary file (with the correct expand mode (-kb)), there will be a new revision for each import with an empty delta. It confuses the ChangeLog for example. (The unix version works correctly meanwhile.)

 I experimented a while and it turned out, that the bug occurs if the binary file contains the hex '1A' (which is the Ctrl-Z character).

 I tracked down in the code to a function which determines weather the newly imported file changed after the last import. It calls the function named RCS_cmp_file, which was parametrized simply with a "-ko" as expand option, no matter this file was a binary or not. And thus the file being imported was opened for reading as a text or 'translated' file and not as a binary.

 On Win32 this means if the file contains a Ctrl-Z it means end of the file (and Ctrl-Z stripped). This was the reason why the Win32 version doesn't worked!!!

 So I propose to change the update_rcs_file in the import.c to taking account the binaryness of the diffed file as follows. (It caused a bug only on Win32 but incorrect on Unix too.)
