(I'm going through old bug reports that unfortunately weren't resolved
at the time.)

This seems like quite niche functionality, so I don't think it would be
appropriate for Emacs, so keeping it as a local customisation is
probably best.

Furthermore, rcs doesn't seem to have a -w switch (at least on Debian)
these days:

$ rcs -w
rcs: unknown option: -w

So I'm closing this bug report as a "wontfix".
