.gitignore files for non-private files and directories

For the non-private purpose, there probably still is 
the need for .gitignore files (at least related to 
compilation for Windows) to exclude the generated 
files (also the VERSION file) -- probably 
at the root level:

bin/Debug/
bin/Debug64/
bin/Release/
bin/Release64/
VERSION

There also should be winbuild/.gitignore file with 
at least the following:

Debug/
Debug64/
Release/
Release64/
Doxygen.ncb
Doxygen.suo
*.user

And there also should be src/.gitignore to exclude
the files generated from lex sources.

I agree this is better approach for private directories. 
I am going to use the 2nd metod (.git/info/excludes) 
for some reason. Still learning ;)
