There were two fixes posted on the ViewCvs mail list that never made
it into the sources by the ViewCvs people so I put them into the
package I made for easy install.
These mods deal with:
1) the backslash versus forward slash path delimiter - basically makes
sure all path compares are made with all delimiters set to forward
slash.

2) Some file type additions to the Enscript list that were not there.
These are files I never use myself so I cannot vouch for their use,
but the only harm I can see is that they might not display properly.
Extensions added: bas, cls, cs, frm

Additionally I have modified the install script to take a command line
argument for the ViewCvs location so that I can run the ViewCvs
install silently from InnoSetup.

Otherwise the files are all from SF HEAD as of April 1st 2004.
