Joel> Except I don't know why I think that! :-). For a long time, GCC didn't support in-tree builds. I think this, plus the convenience of being able to do multiple builds from a single source tree, or clean a build by "rm -rf", contributed to its adoption. Joel> What do people think? I don't mind .gitignore files listing build artifacts. It is unlikely to break anything and I am not likely to notice anyhow :-) Tom
