omitting CVS directories

[Karl Berry]

The automake manual says:

       You can also mention a directory in `EXTRA_DIST'; in this case the
    entire directory will be recursively copied into the distribution.
    Please note that this will also copy _everything_ in the directory,
    including CVS/RCS version control files.  We recommend against using
    this feature.

Well, how about excluding directories named `CVS' or `RCS'?

In the case of Texinfo, Eli maintains the MS-DOS stuff in a djgpp/
subdirectory.  It's hardly crucial, of course, but it would be
convenient to just have `djgpp' in the EXTRA_DIST variable, instead of
`djgpp/file1 ... djgpp/fileN'.

For example, do this after the copy loop:
find $(EXTRA_DIST) -type d \( -name RCS -o -name CVS \) -print \
     -exec rm -rf '{}'

Just a suggestion.
