Check .gitignore.  :)

I personally have also been doing a truly "out-of-tree" build
until recently, but I became concerned that unix newbies might not
like having a ~/lilypond-build/ in addition to ~/lilypond-git/.
I decided that putting build/ inside the source tree -- which is
actually the default in waf and cmake, for example -- was easier
to explain and understand for new contributors.
