Procedure for check-in into version control

When producing a new release the following steps have to be executed:

• Run make distclean in order to remove superfluous files.
• Run cvs update and check for files to be added or removed from version control (or to be added to .cvsignore). Make sure to also add .cvsignore to version control.
• When cvs update does not return any more unknown files, you are ready to execute cvs ci. Please add a meaningful check-in comment.
