Hello. I just checkouted a big program. What I want to do is to remove 
all CVS/ folders from the hierarchy.

There might be other ways to do so (give me a hint?). What I can think 
of is to run find(1) to find out all CVS folders, and pass them as 
parameters of rm(1), but I don't know how to do so.
