i looked through .cvsignore and picked out a few more entries.  here is the 
top level file i'll commit if there's no other suggestions.

note: i know that one or two subdirs actually commit files named "config.h" to 
their tree, but that's a lot more of an exception than a rule.  so for those 
subprojects (looks like just newlib and winsup), i'd propose adding a 
.gitignore entry of "!config.h".
