It's not hard. Use cvs -q ... and you'll get fewer lines. For example:
cvs -q update -dP . | egrep '^?'

You can then pipe that through cut:
cvs -q update -dP . | egrep '^?' | cut --delimiter=' ' -f 2

You can use that as input to a for loop:
for i in `cvs -q update -dP . | egrep '^?' | cut --delimiter=' ' -f 2`
do
cvs add $i
done

Then add it all to cvs
cvs commit -m "automated add of new webfiles"

Put it all on one line:
for i in `cvs -q update -dP . | egrep '^?' | cut --delimiter=' ' -f 2`;
do cvs add $i; done && cvs commit -m "automated add of new webfiles"
