Could you please tell where did those .out files come from?  The a.out
case is relatively rare, and if a file which ends with .out has higher
probability of being a text file on DOS, I will remove .out from the
list of suffixes that automatically imply a binary file.  (Emacs will
still try to determine on the fly whether a file is a binary one.)

So: can a .out file be produced by some utility other than Bison or
the linker?
