FWIW, I usually put them in `backup', for trees that I want to be able to
build in the source directory.  [Now that I look I notice that I forgot to
take them out of `unrecognized' too, but I guess backup takes priority...]

[Sometimes I think `backup' doesn't get the respect it deserves, as names
like `precious' or `unrecognized' seem so much more inviting... :-| ]
