[darcs-users] default boring list

I suggest that darcs default to an empty boring list, instead of the
current ad-hoc list.  Any defaults, no matter how sensible they may seem
now (and I'm not sure how sensible they are now!) are bound to a) trip a
few people and b) become a historical amusement with time (unless you
update them actively, which is also problematic).  Much simpler just to
let people maintain their own boring lists.

For reference, here is the current list:

    \.hi$
    \.o$
    (^|/)CVS($|/)
    ~$
    (^|/)\.[^/]
    (^|/)_darcs($|/)
    \.bak$
    \.BAK$
    (^|/)vssver\.scc$
    \.swp$
    (^|/)MT($|/)
    (^|/)\{arch\}($|/)
    (^|/).arch-ids($|/)
    (^|/),,
    \.class
    \.prof
    (^|/)BitKeeper($|/)
    (^|/)ChangeSet($|/)
    (^|/)\.svn($|/)
    \.py[co]$
