You have a few options.  By default, the syntax of the .hgignore file is
Perl-compatible regexps, so this would work:

.*

You can switch to glob style:

syntax: glob
*

But ignoring all files is usually a bit of overkill.  Quite often,
you'll want something like this instead:

syntax: glob
*.obj
*.dll

HTH,
