Beginning in ViewVC 1.1.2, you should be able to make a small template
change to accomplish this.  At the top of the templates/file.ezt file,
you'll see this:

  [# ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ]
  [# CUSTOMIZE ME: To avoid displaying "binary garbage" -- the contents of     ]
  [# files with non-human-readable file formats -- change the value of the     ]
  [# hide_binary_garbage variable below to 1.                                  ]
  [# ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ]

  [define hide_binary_garbage]0[end]

Simply change that last line to:

  [define hide_binary_garbage]1[end]

and ViewVC should start hiding file content for files it doesn't believe are
human-readable (based on their calculated MIME type), and will instead show
a link to the "download" view of that file.
