I was not sure whether it should be tracked or not since it has been 
tracked back to 2006 when it was added.

Might be worth a little time by someone much more knowledgeable than I 
am to see if there are any other files which should not be tracked.

I will redo the patch since some fixes are still needed.  The patch will 
also git-rm and add the filename to .gitignore.
