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.
