I wonder, how hard would it be to write a makefile hook that pulls down 
a generic .gitignore file, adds a custom per-project section and saves 
that as .gitignore. add it to cleanfiles/maintainercleanfiles and then 
you dont' have to duplicate the various .gitignores. and I could just 
re-use the hook in every project :)

something along the lines of:

gitignore: .gitignore.local
	curl http://freedesktop.org/default.gitignore > .gitignore
	cat $^ >> .gitignore

bit more polish, but that may be worthy pursuing.

Cheers,
   Peter
