Use "cvs -nq update" and look at the lines that begin with a "?". 
Those lines contain the names of the files that match criteria 1

Files that match the ignore list patterns AND have a cvs status of 
"Unknown" are the ones that match criteria 2.

Some scripting will get you the rest of what you want.
