I agree with that, though the *dll.def files are ours and probably
deserve a global .gitignore entry.

As for executables, I think the local .gitignore files in each subdir
should be tweaked so that they catch the .exe extension, so
src/backend/.gitignore which currently includes /postgres should also
have /postgres.exe, and so on.
