Well, what I'd do would be shell-script the above: have a script print
out a list of files, and remove certain others, based on a manually
defined list.

(That could just be one big invocation of GNU "find").

I think the exceptions are going to be pretty small: generated
documentation (e.g. man pages, info files), gdbarch.c / gdbarch.h,
configure scripts, et cetera.  Of course, there will still be a list
of places that need to be updated by hand (including gdbarch.sh and
the texinfo manuals, probably).
