The -kb switch a few effects.  First, it disables the expansion of
keywords in the files where it is set.  This allows binary files to be
checked-in without being corrupted.  Part of the expansion code also
does the cr-lf conversion.  This is disabled, too.  The other major
change is that it is supposed to call diff with different parameters.

Last time I checked, this all worked OK.  I'l examine this tomorrow
and see if it is still working correctly.  You can verify that the
file was checked-in as binary by using the rlog command.  Binary files
have an additional header item for keyword expansion.
