So do I. But it's not enough for perverse cases such as automake based
projects or even glibc where building in a separate directory doesn't
prevent generated files to end in the source tree.

Yes, I'd like to have this too. I understood the boss more or less
agreed for a per-directory .ignorefoo with overriding regexps, and a
