If you keep source directories separate from directories for compiler
output you can easily simplify your .gitignore by negating it. So
instead of putting a line into the .gitignore for every file type you
do /not/ want, exclude everything in the build directory and add
exceptions for the files you /do/ want to track.

Then a .gitignore could look like this for building with VC6, VC8 and
Makefile based build systems:

path/to/build/directory/*
!*.dsw
!*.dsp
!*.sln
!*.vcproj
!Makefile
