cvsnt converts every unicode file into UTF8 as it checks it in, and
the server then does all its operations as normal.  Marking the file
with -ku tells the client to re-expand the file back to double byte
UCS2 for the client to use.  Quad-byte encoding (UCS4) isn't suported
yet because NT can't read/write it.
