Actually this is due to Automake 1.10.2 / 1.11 having had internal
changes.

So this worked fine for something like three years -- which I better than
what I had expected.  ;-)

I put this in.  If it breaks for someone who still has an older Automake
version, we can add a fall-back.

Generally, I don't like these ignore files too much.  But if you promise
to maintain this file (whatever this means -- no maintenance would have
been required in the last years, I guess), and take the rap should this
ever cause any harm due to hiding any files' changes, etc., then it can
go in.

Likewise, this functionality has probably already been the cause for many
men's wasted days discussing its pros and cons in other projects.  It can
go in with the following changes: ``default'' typo in the commit log;
please centralize all the *_V* definitions in one place: in Makefile.am,
as a new ^L ``page'' before the the ``MIG Setup'' section would be best,
I think.  (As a bonus, you could also already update the copyright
years.)


With these changes please either resend, or put into some Git branch on
Savannah -- I just added you to the group; welcome on board! -- the rules
are still to be found here:
