 Actually I called compilation from make in cygwin env, as I can't run 
 build on Windows7/VisualStudio 2010. I don't know if this is preferred 
 method.

 From configure script

 checking for ld used by GCC... /usr/i686-pc-cygwin/bin/ld.exe
 checking if the linker (/usr/i686-pc-cygwin/bin/ld.exe) is GNU ld... 
 yes

 CC runs as
 GNU C (GCC) version 4.3.4 20090804 (release) 1 (i686-pc-cygwin)
         compiled by GNU C version 4.3.4 20090804 (release) 1, GMP 
 version 4.3.1, MPFR version 2.4.1-p5.
 GGC heuristics: --param ggc-min-expand=100 --param 
 ggc-min-heapsize=131072

 After compilation I got many of *dll.def and others.

 Just configuration from some editor. It looks like any move in project 
 creates this entry in .gitignore

 This is not my part - just wanted to comment what and why.
