You cannot import a stock Kerberos 5 beta 6 tree as distributed into
CVS, because it ships with .cvsignore files which cause the shipped
configure files to be ignored.

My solution for this time around was to nuke the .cvsignore files
before importing.  I would greatly appreciate it if, in the future,
you could not ship .cvsignore files with Kerberos 5 which tell CVS to
ignore files shipped in the outside distribution; while it is
appropriate for your CVS repository and possibly Cygnus's, it is not
appropriate for people making only small numbers of local changes.

Probably the easiest way for you to accomplish this change is to use a
cvsignore file in the CVSROOT directory of your repository with the
line "configure," and removing "configure" from the .cvsignore file in
each directory (or removing the .cvsignore files altogether, in cases
where "configure" is the only thing there).
