'langmap' is related only to the source files.
Gtags(1) picks up text files other than source (README, Makefile and etc)
for the -Po or -go command, but it doesn't treat them as a source file.

I'm using neither option, just "global -u". Does global pass those to gtags by default? Is there a way to disable it? It's picking up PDFs and excel spreadsheets, neither of which I would consider to be text files.
