This is certainly not true.  It's perfectly possible, and indeed not very
hard, to make tla ignore all the build cruft and work just fine for
`build-in-source' trees -- for instance the emacs arch tree is this way.

It's no different than adding stuff to .cvsignore to make CVS stop
complaining about unknown files.
