Because the version control system should not change things it doesn't
know about, like generated files; leaving the directories behind is just
a consequence of having generated files in the way.  So, annoying
because it's more work, but it's the right thing to do.

We shouldn't have any `.cvsignore` files anymore...?

In any case, I've found `lndir` to be quite handy, here.  If you're
interested in building and destroying compilation directories from the
same sources time and time again, it's certainly well-suited to that.
