You cannot do it with .cvsignore, since it applies only to files present in the local copy and missing from the repository. Of course you can do piping CVS output through a rather trivial sed script, but in my opinion it is very inconvenient.

On a side note, these can be omitted from the repository as well, the way we do in tar, cpio and cflow repositories. However, here I tend to agree with you that it is better to have gnulib sources in our repository, simply because we have got no control over the way they change in gnulib, and sometimes their changes in gnulib break their usage in the application. Besides, these files do not change as often as autogenerated files do. > Also, I find that it isn't easy enough to generate them, sometimes you > simply do not have the tools on the machine to do it. Which for my > part atleast, happens quite often. Yes, I understand your point.
