cvs-clean: a script we have internally, move it to WebKitTools/ Scripts change to respect .cvsignore as Maciej suggested turns out it's really hard to respect .cvsignore by default, since there are so many different sources of things to ignore (defaults, server-side, per-directory .cvsignore, home directory .cvsignore)
It would appear that someone has already written a Perl module called VCS::LibCVS::IgnoreChecker (part of the VCS::LibCVS package) which does the heavy lifting for you. http://search.cpan.org/~dissent/VCS-LibCVS-1.0001/VCS/LibCVS/ IgnoreChecker.pm The module is licensed, "under the same terms as Perl itself", so either you could redistribute it or add instructions to webkit.opendarwin.org about how to install the module from CPAN.
