Commit 781f253 adds a rule cairo-*.*.* to .gitignore in the root dir. Unfortunately this matches several src/cairo-*.pc.in files in the src directory. The build system requires these files to be present, but the rule is allowing them to be ignored. For example, when extracting a cgit snapshot tarball and checking it into another git repository, these files get left behind. Any accidental changes to these files will go unnoticed by a 'git status' (possibly creating bad installs) and any intentional changes could not be committed (git commit -a will miss them, and every one will need to be forced). This is not really desirable. We don't want to unignore *.pc.in here since there are many, many autogenerated files with this name, and the cairo-*.*.* rule is in general quite useful and doesn't warrant modification (although it could be made a little more specific), so we just make these 4 files a special case and negate the match with full filenames in src/.
