More files using .cvsignore:

t/src/manifest.t
  This test checks the integrity of CVS. This the CVS=>SVN transition this is
  mostly skipped.
  I have a nearly working replacement, but the hard-coded .cvsignores get in

MANIFEST.SKIP
  skips explicitly .cvsignore; can go

tools/dev/gen_manifest_skip.pl
  explicit skip of .cvsignore; already scheduled for removal

tools/dev/extract_file_descriptions.pl
