So this snippet isn't quite right because for a subdirectory the .in.h file might be called something like 'sys_stat.in.h' which is transformed into 'sys/stat.h'. I've added the right .cvsignore files by hand.
I've also removed the *.c ignores above, not sure how they got in there because I certainly didn't add them myself.
Most projects that use gnulib do *not* version control the sources, so for them it's required to ignore everything. So gnulib-tool adds those *.c names to .cvsignore files. Since libvirt is at least the second project that is adamant about version-controlling gnulib-tool-pulled sources, I plan to add an option to gnulib-tool to make it's .cvsignore-writing behavior do what libvirt wants.
