Based on this list, a global exclude for "*.exe" and "lib*dll.def"
seems reasonable. Andrew, does that seem right to you as well? I
definitely want to keep the nbproject thing out of there, that belongs
in a personal exclude.

utils/adt/blob.c and include/utils/blob.h - what is that? That's
something that's actually from your development work and should not be
ignored, right?
