Do you really need to store the binary itself? Couldnt you store the
binary in a directory / rename it so that it is tagged with its version
number. Or find a way to make it spit out its version number on the
command line (binary --version or whatever).
Have a field in your repository that stores the actual version numbers
involved. The binary is not going to change very much .. just maintain
all the possible versions of your binary like I said. Call the
appropriate binary based on the version # stored in cvs / svn.
