Most of the targets in the toplevel .gitignore were being used in
subdirectories. After a full build, I removed the .gitignore and noticed
that only libdctrl.a was necessary - so I removed the others. If you're
opposed to this, let me know, I'll put them back and update the patch.

On a side note, I would like to add (or update an existing) makefile
target to remove the ~ and .d files from the tree. The clean target
removes the executables but still leaves a bunch of cruft laying around.
How about a "distclean" target? What are your thoughts on this? My goal
is to have a makefile target that takes me back to a pristine tree
(assuming no changes were made).

On another side note ;), We will need to make some additional changes to
the makefile in order to properly move to CDBS, but I will outline those
suggestions in a separate thread, I have a few ideas there.

Do we have a date for the code freeze?

Hope things are going well.

Cheers,
