"cvs diff" cannot do this.  You have several options:

- Use 'diff' instead of cvs diff.  Here you have to have two separate 
repositories - one original and one new.  Use something like "diff 
-Xfreeciv/diff_ignore freeciv-old freeciv".
- Package the extra .[ch] files separately.  This is what I usually do - 
just make a diff of the existing files and include the new files as 
extra attachments.  It is faster but takes more work for the user of 
your patch.
- Use another tool like mkdiff.  Dunno much about this choice.
