Hmm, I guess, if the binary flag for the file in CVS was not put there 
BEFORE the file is first checked into CVS then a later change will not 
help. I have not tested that, but I think that the file is already 
corrupted.

Why cannot we simply use the current patch-47 (plus Tim's changes) and 
generate the SVN stuff from that?

I think it would even be reasonable to release patch-48 and then start 
with these sources the SVN archive. Then we can forget about all the 
trouble with CVS and binaries.

Does someone need the history that is in the CVS currently? Aren't we 
satisfied with the history of axiom--main--1--patch-47?
