Well I meant *build*, when I am running make.

Ok I discuss this with Mats.

Oops that is (t)csh?

And what about 
cvs remove:

find . \( -name '*' -o -name '.[a-z]*' \) -print -exec cvs remove {} \;

Or something of the sort and then after the copy the same for add

Again oops looks again complicated.
