It would appear that someone has already written a Perl module
called VCS::LibCVS::IgnoreChecker (part of the VCS::LibCVS package)
which does the heavy lifting for you.
http://search.cpan.org/~dissent/VCS-LibCVS-1.0001/VCS/LibCVS/
IgnoreChecker.pm
The module is licensed, "under the same terms as Perl itself", so
either you could redistribute it or add instructions to
webkit.opendarwin.org about how to install the module from CPAN.
Thanks for the pointer!
Distributing that entire module, or requiring the module installation
from CPAN, would be a bit more heavyweight than what's currently
required for our scripts, but I'll think about it.
Also, I'm not sure I want a version of cvs-clean that talks to the
server; one thing neat about the old one is that it's fast and
entirely local.
