would be the easiest, aber would require a "fix" to make it
work via cron (now it requires a manual "[enter]" for the cvs login)
and it asks a question  (which could be optional if the script is
run with the option "snapshot", ok...).

I'd suggest to keep the .cvsignore and CVS dirs in cvs release, to
allow testers use 'cvs update' too... :  so this line should be
ignored in 'snapshot mode' :
  "find phpMyAdmin \( -name .cvsignore -o -name CVS \) -print0 | xargs
-0 rm -rf"

afaik it's there for 'historical reason' :-)  so could be removed after
generation of the archives, no problem.
