Even better would be to use the cvsupchk tool that comes with cvsup
(in the contrib directory) to get a list of files that shouldn't be
there anyway.  Then you can just pass a list to "xargs rm -f".

It isn't installed by default, but if you still have a copy of the cvsup
tarball in /usr/ports/distfiles, it will be in there.  Even the "binary"
distributions.
