This is for use in building from Windows, too. These files are not
flagged as temporary, because in the normal sense they are true files.
For example, the .o files. Normally a developer keeps these files so
only what's necessary needs to be rebuilt. However, if you have a
"nightly build" setup and want to do a complete rebuild every time, then
it makes sense.
