I'm not at all thrilled with having the build process intentionally
modify source files.  Quite aside from messing up the file timestamps,
what if this is done on a committer's machine?  If the checked-out
files didn't have CRs, that means his CVS client didn't add them
and probably won't remove them on checkin.
