I noticed in the code (in file.c) that a few directories/files are hard-coded as to be ignored. I figured that adding a user-configurable mechanism to ignore dirs/files would be more useful to others than just adding my names to the hard-coded list. So I implemented a simple "pcbignore" mechanism. Allows for per-user and per-newlib ignore lists. The patch adds an appendix to the doc/pcb.texi file (q.v. for details on use). https://bugs.launchpad.net/pcb/+bug/1005644 Let me know if there's anything I could/should do to improve this. Thanks.
