The search I usually use first for cvsnt questions:

<http://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Ahttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.cvsnt.org%2Fmanual%2Fhtml%2F+status>
<http://tinyurl.com/35sfmh>

Has this as second link:

<http://www.cvsnt.org/manual/html/status.html>

Which contains:

---------------------------
status options
[...]
-q

    Display only a quick summary of the status of each file. Specifying a
second -q option reduces the output still further, by supressing output for
up to date files.
---------------------------

FWIW and IMO, Google is becoming worse and probably never was a good
replacement for a manual (where there is one, of course :)

Why don't you globally un-ignore .exe and .dll and other files you don't
normally have in your build tree? That should give you what you want.
