[PATCH] Add .gitignore everywhere based on .cvsignore

[Joel E. Denny]

I'm thinking of pushing the following commit to make "git status" useful.  
I hesitate in case someone knows of some git best practice that I'm 
missing.

I mostly copied each .gitignore from its corresponding .cvsignore.  In 
some cases, I added some files that cvs ignores by default, such as "*.o".

In all cases, I preceded every entry with a "/" so that, as with cvs, it 
does not apply recursively to subdirectories.  For example, I want git 
status to tell me about any new a.out or bison-* or Makefile I have lying 
around in some subdirectory even though the top-level .gitignore says to 
ignore them.

We can try to maintain the .cvsignore files in parallel for the sake of 
the users who want the cvs emulation.  We could add a script to keep them 
in sync, but I'm more inclined to just let users report problems when we 
forget an entry.  Maybe this will motivate them to learn git.
