add .gitignore #21

Ugh. This is a pet peeve of mine. I of course have a .gitignore... whose first line is ".gitignore". There's no reason for it to be in the repo.

The reason a .gitignore would be in the repo is so that not every single person who clones and rebuilds the repo would then be required rediscover all the possible build artifacts and create their own local .gitignore file so that their 'git status' output was reflective of the actual local changes. If you're going to be different from the norm and not have a .gitignore in your repo (which is totally your prerogative), stating so in your README.md file would be a nice clue to prevent future wasted time on this subject.

Good grief.
