Not exactly the same, but the same. When you add those files, you
must be sure to tell CVS that they are binary files (-kb option from
command line, "add binary" button on WinCVS), after that, everything
is the same (except that when you diff binary files, since CVS has no
way to interpret differences, it can only tell you "same" or "different").

You seem to be headed down the right path.

It can be done, but is dependent on the specifics of your server
implementation.
