I think we should tailor .cvsignore for use with our repository.  Anyone 
importing the files into another repository probably has to fix up other 
things as well (killing off other files that are no-longer live, for 
example), so I'm not too worried about that.

If these files are in the .cvsignore, then I think that's an error.
