Well, I personally don't like putting too much things in gitignore, it hides stray files.  I strongly recommend that you build out-of-tree.  That is to say

./bootstrap
mkdir _build
cd _build
../configure
make

I don't plan to add the missing bits in the gitignores.  IMHO they already contain too much stuff.  And I will have to update the README.

This is not right, thanks for pointing this out, I will fix that.

Cheers!
