In my working copy from the trunk these directories are there.
They get removed by your m3makefile again, but update -d resurrects
them.

What exactly have you done to `remove' them from CVS? As CVS doesn't
handle directories as first class objects, the only ways to remove
a directory are

  (1) delete all files in it recursively and let CVS know.
      The -p(rune) option will then delete empty directories.

  (2) remove the complete history on the server. Not allowed for
      a simple human user in daily operations ;-)

PS: I'm in a hurry now, do I won't have time to read and answer
all mails now. There are still several dozens... More later.
