Except that, like Mark implies, I tend to keep my notes in my working
directory.  If I'm debugging a bunch of testcases and I needed to keep
notes about what was going on, I'd be quite surprised if make clean
deleted my notes!

I don't object too strongly, though, if others like this approach.
I wouldn't put them in that directory anyway, just in gdb/testsuite/.
