AFAIKS Poplog saved images are specific to the binary that created them:
`*.psv' contains both machine code and adresses in the Poplog binary 
-- they are useless if the binary changes.

IMHO it is useless to have `*.psv' in CVS -- CVS is intended to track 
changes in sources and `*.psv' are not sources (they are easily re-built
from sources). 
Personaly I think that `*.psv' are not needed even in binary distribution,
they can be easily re-built at install time.
