With your list of extensions, I can change the server defaults so that 
those filetypes default to native mode.  Alternatively, we can set the 
server to assume text unless the file detects as binary (e.g., uses the 
8th bit).  Recommendations or preferences?  I think I prefer the 
specific list (because otherwise in a mixed checkin with some binary 
files subversion might get confused).
