Here's a DOS batch file that does that operation quite well.  Modify the 
cvs_add_list to satisfy your needs:
===============
@ECHO OFF

SETLOCAL
REM Set up a string that specifies all files we want to check in
SET cvs_add_list=*.cpp,*.c,*.pl,*.html,*.xml,*.txt,*.java,*.pm


:parse_options
if NOT "%1"=="/?" goto add_tree_head
ECHO Adds a directory tree of files to CVS
ECHO.
ECHO 
ADD_TREE [directory]
ECHO.
ECHO If directory is passed, then that directory will be used as
ECHO the root directory for the add operation - that directory
ECHO and all sub-directories will be added.
ECHO.
ECHO Files are added according to the filter stored in the environment
ECHO variable ADD_TREE_FILTER.  If this is unset, the default value of
ECHO %cvs_add_list%
ECHO is used...
ECHO.
ECHO Files are added in each sub-directory.
ECHO There is no way (today!) to specify exception files or exception 
directories.
ECHO.
ECHO Author: John Minnihan
ECHO Author: Nick Furness

GOTO :EOF

:add_tree_head
set head_dir= "%1"
IF NOT DEFINED head_dir echo Adding subtree only...
IF NOT DEFINED head_dir goto add_subtree
IF NOT EXIST %1 @ECHO Bad File: %1
IF NOT EXIST %1 GOTO :EOF

cvs add %1
CD %1

goto add_remainder_of_subtree

:add_subtree
@CD %1

:add_remainder_of_subtree
ECHO.
ECHO.
ECHO.
CD
ECHO *********************************************************
ECHO Adding directories...
ECHO *********************************************************
FOR /D %%i in (*) DO IF /I NOT "%%i"=="CVS" cvs add "%%i"
ECHO *********************************************************

IF DEFINED add_tree_filter set cvs_add_list=%add_tree_filter%

REM Note that because the cvs_add_list might not only contain
REM wildcard search expressions, we could attempt to add a file
REM that isn't there.  Silly, but true.  So we'll check.

ECHO Adding files...
ECHO *********************************************************
FOR %%i IN (%cvs_add_list%) DO IF EXIST "%%i" cvs add "%%i"
ECHO *********************************************************

REM And recurse for all the directories below...
FOR /D %%i IN (*) DO IF /I NOT "%%i"=="CVS" call :add_subtree "%%i"
CD ..

GOTO :EOF

ENDLOCAL
