To slightly clarify, user has to either delete file in the working dir
*in advance* and then use 'cvs remove [filename]', or, alternatively,
use 'cvs remove -f filename' to delete and remove in one step.

BTW, my usual use-case with CVS is to delete some files in the working
directory using whatever tool I like, then just issue 'cvs remove' from
the top of the working dir, -- CVS then recursively marks all the files
that I've deleted as removed, -- very handy.
