If you or others have a reason to prefer having uuencoded files in the
src tree I'll happily revert. I was aware only of CVS limitations as a
reason for uuencoding.

We have many binary files in the tree already (e.g. GIF PNG and JPEG
images, ELF and PE32 binaries, Berkeley DB files, and various
compressed formats). I count 430 uuencoded files in the tree, with 328
of those coming from libarchive and 64 from sys/*/dev/
