Buildfarm & cvsignore files

I noticed that the build farm is only looking for the cvs-ignore'd files
for a vpath build.

Attached is a patch that will stop at the CVS stage if there are any
cvs-ignore'd files in the clean repository.

Its not triggered by a from-source build, only what should have been a
clean check out.

Thanks,
