compiling in build?

Hi,

a lot of files generated by configure confuse Git.
why don't you suggest to compile in the build/ directory? Or improve 
.gitignore?

I would recommend these instructions:

     git clone git://git.savannah.gnu.org/src-highlite.git
     cd src-highlite
     autoreconf -i
     cd build
     ../configure
     make
     su -c 'make install'

This would make life easier for "non-developers contributors" like me :-)

Cheers,
Federico
