I put the Windows DLLs in because not everybody is able to easily build
them (configure script's don't quite work, aren't well documented, etc.). I
only put in the DLLs required for core Csound (no FLTK, Python, etc.).

I didn't do the Linux .so's, so I don't know why they are there -- perhaps
as an alternative to doing releases.

Hi Andres,

You can use a .cvsignore file.  I'm not sure quite what the rules are 
for it, as I use it within my IDE. 

On the other hand, IMO, there shouldn't really be so many binaries in 
the CVS.  Snapshots should probably be set up as releases or pushed to a 
web server (which is easy to automate, compared to the file release 
system in SourceForge), .dll's should be provided in releases but 
shouldn't be necessary for developers.  Other generated files like the 
.xmg files should be removed from CVS too. 

What's the rational behind all the binaries in the CVS?
