   If you can provide the enhancement, you're welcome.

I am *not* a CVS hacker.  But I suspect that the following line in a
crontab would do the trick:

MAILTO=cvs-hackers@gnu.org
*/5 * * * * find /cvsroot -name '#cvs.[trw]fl.*' -o -name '#cvs.lock' \
			  -mmin +20 -exec rm --force --verbose {} \;
