Well a heuristic could be something like 95% of the .c files in this dir are
versioned, so maybe this should be too, whereas no .o files are, so we wouldn't
suggest adding them. However, I agree with Greg, show all of them not in
svn:ignore.

Note that the code is already there for svn st -u. Also note that someone,
can't remember exactly who, said they wanted to work on svn st, so that it
show results as they came back from the server, instead of waiting until all
them were done. So maybe hold off on this for a while, but keep in mind that
a little refactoring is all that is really needed.
