Well, I think a lot of people would be bothered by the idea of you
maintaining a copy of what will amount to a list of all files. Even
more people will be bothered by the idea that they would have to help
maintaining it if they add or remove files.

The files listed in those files have to be built in the source tree for
various reasons even if you configure a separate build directory. So
the .cvsignore files serve to get clean cvs diffs if you use a separate
build directory.
