Humor me.
This change just affects the list of things that CVS ignores when you do
a `cvs update`. You;re creating new .cvsignore files in the gdb/ and
gdb/doc/ directories that list the files generated in a build.
Per michael's e-mail I'm puzzled as to their usefulness as people are
encouraged to build using a separate build tree.
What puzzles me even more is the absence of any of tm.h xm.h or nm.h in
that list.
How were the files in that list selected?
