*.exe is a default exclusion rule in CVS, and rsync's -C option is setup
to have the same default exclusion rules as CVS.  The only ways to work
around that (without patching the source) are:

 - Add your own --include=*.exe rule.
 - Use --filter=:C instead of -C so that the default ignore rules aren't 
   included, just the .cvsignore files (make sure they have all the
   exclusions you need, such as *.o, etc.).
 - Put a "!" line in your root .cvsignore file to start fresh with no
   prior exclusions (save caveat about completeness).

There is a diff in the patches dir named cvs-entries.diff that auto-adds
all items in each dir's CVS/Entries file to the per-directory include
list, allowing any files that were committed to override the general
exclude rules.  I have not approved that for the general release because
it only applies to CVS, and the SCM world is getting more diverse these
days.
