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,
