It's true that CVS doesn't assume anything based on file extensions, but it
can easily made to be not true.

In the CVSROOT directory there is a file cvswrappers where you can specify
things like, if the file name matches *.bmp, add the -kb flag automatically. 
Look at the example in the file.

Since the patterns are standard UNIX shell patterns, you may want to do
something for case insensitivity.

Here's a list that I use in a different project.
Some files are specified with -ko (or -k 'o') since they're not binary files,
but you don't want CVS muciking with any $-escapes in them.
