Actually I called compilation from make in cygwin env, as I can't run
build on Windows7/VisualStudio 2010. I don't know if this is preferred
method.

From configure script

checking for ld used by GCC... /usr/i686-pc-cygwin/bin/ld.exe
checking if the linker (/usr/i686-pc-cygwin/bin/ld.exe) is GNU ld...
yes

CC runs as
GNU C (GCC) version 4.3.4 20090804 (release) 1 (i686-pc-cygwin)
compiled by GNU C version 4.3.4 20090804 (release) 1, GMP
version 4.3.1, MPFR version 2.4.1-p5.
GGC heuristics: --param ggc-min-expand=100 --param
ggc-min-heapsize=131072

After compilation I got many of *dll.def and others.

Just configuration from some editor. It looks like any move in project
creates this entry in .gitignore

This is not my part - just wanted to comment what and why.
