Updating a package's gnulib files in CVS

[Denver Gingerich]

I would like to update the gnulib files for the package I'm
maintaining (wdiff) in CVS (I've decided to check-in the gnulib files
so people using CVS don't have to run gnulib).  However, running
"gnulib-tool --import" or "gnulib-tool --update" creates a bunch of
files I don't want, such as .cvsignore and backup files (ending in
"~").  It also appears to install new files with an added "_" (ie.
stdlib_.h).

As a maintainer that wants to put these changes in CVS, this behavior
is not what I want.  I would prefer if gnulib-tool overwrote all old
files (instead of making backups), did not rename new files (it
currently adds "_"), and did not create .cvsignore files.  Is there a
way I can get gnulib-tool to do this?  If not, what is the best way?
