The wiki page is vague: will that tell it to ignore the "build" directory at 
the top level, or will it tell it to ignore every build directory in every 
subdirectory?  (If I had a source/build/ would that get ignored?)

Do I have to add ^ and $ to the thing to tell it "you're actually not a regexp 
but a real path"?
