Luckily .elc files (&c) can be easily classified by name; generated .tex
files in the source dir are pretty much a pain in the ass no matter what
build/s.c. system you're using.  I suppose more context-specific regexps
would at least make such things a bit less painful (I mean per-dir
.arch-names files or whatever, to allow local extensions to the regexps in
{arch}/=tagging-method).
