Before, not only files containing an RCS Id were recorded in the
+BUILD_VERSION file but also files containing text that looked similar to
an RCS Id were recorded, even though these didn't contain any valuable
version information.
The effect was that before this change, pkgtools/pkglint was built over
and over again by the bulk builds since pbulk uses a different regular
expression for detecting modified files.
The regular expression for unexpanded RCS Ids is added to record files
that have never been checked in to CVS, just to have them recorded and to
distinguish them from the final committed version.

In pkgtools/pkglint, there are several lines that look almost like RCS
Ids. Some parts of the pkgsrc infrastructure expand them and some others
don't. This needs to be fixed so that all parts of pkgsrc agree what is a
complete RCS Id and what isn't.
As long as that is not the case, pbulk unnecessarily builds pkglint over
and over again, even if nothing changed. There are probably other
unintended side effects as well that just haven't been discovered or
considered grave enough.
