You can (should!) use make.

----------------(file-x.source)---------------
$host = 'HOSTFDQN';
----------------------------------------------

----------------(Makefile)--------------------
test:
    sed -e 's/HOSTFDQN/localhost/g' < file-x.source > file-x
    $(MAKE) $(MFLAGS) all

production:
    sed -e 's/HOSTFDQN/mysql.provider.fr/g' < file-x.source > file-x
    $(MAKE) $(MFLAGS) all

all:
    @echo Whatever...
----------------------------------------------

With only file-x.source in CVS, not file-x.

The only  command you'll  ever need on  a MS-Windows machine  is: ftp!
(FTP.EXE actually, on those systems).

Just transfer  the files  to a  unix machine where  you can  work, and
transfer the resulting files back to the useless one.


Actually  a better  scheme would  be to  install a  ftp server  on the
MS-Windows machine  to avoid completely touching it,  and add commands
in the Makefile to do the transfers automatically.
