I don't really care either way.  The current hints (.gitignore contents, 
INSTALL instructions) point towards in-tree builds.  But now I'm 
building out-of-tree.

I think this would make sense if we want to complete the listing of 
auto-generated files.

So which way do we want to go?  Remove all ignored files only generated 
during an in-tree build, or add the missing auto-generated files from 
such a build?
