I checked with an anonymous CVS account, and have nothing related to
HTML files in my $HOME/.cvsignore. I now realize that these files
are not ignored when being authenticated, so this behaviour is surely
due to the configuration of anonymous CVS account.
Anyway I still believe it would be confusing if remove_stale.pl do
ignore files listed under .cvsignore files.
