Hmm. Hold on.

My gitignore manpage doesn't say anything about supporting regular
expressions at all. And actually adding the line proposed by Peter
doesn't work.

What works is adding all of:
*.so
*.so.[0-9]
*.so.[0-9].[0-9]

That will break if there's a two-digit number, i guess. Do we want to
go with that anyway?
