Current versions of git don't honor .cvsignore files anymore.
This project started in CVS in 2004 before it was migrated to git in 2010.
There never existed a public CVS repo, so there is zero reason to retain any references to CVS.
It's time to migrate.
Files to migrate include:
configure, Make-related files
.cvsignore files and snippets
maintainer documentation

At the same time, it might also be a good idea to move to static .gitignore files, rather than generating pieces of them.
git's ignore-semantics are richer than cvs's.
Replace cvsignore with only gitignore.
CVS has not been used for many years.
Remove circular dependencies.
Follow-up may remove gitignore generation
altogether, in favor of static ignore files
and patterns.
For #81
Replace uses of old CVS tags with git revisions.
Update some very stale maintainer documentation.
Caveat: gitrev.h will not automatically update
between git checkouts; it needs to be manually
removed and then regenerated.
For #81.
List ignored/generated documentation dirs in
Makefile.am AUTO_IGNORE.
Move extract_texinfo.awk to extract_texinfo.sh
and mkdir -p on the output files' directories.
