cvs diff, annotate, etc. do work as if the files weren't checked out with -kb.

I think the -kb entry in CVS/Entries does not affect "cvs ci" unless
the file is marked as "-kb" on the repository. None of the commits of
nt/nmake.defs, nt/makefile.w32-in, etc. that I've done seem to have
had any adverse effect.

Not sure if they should be told to, but at least there is no problem
if they do: I just checked out a -kb tree and built it with MSVC with
no problem whatsoever.
