I'd much rather it looked like the IcedTea7 version:

syntax: glob
*~
configure
missing
aclocal.m4
autom4te.cache
config.guess
config.sub
config.status
install-sh
Makefile.in

The kind of changes you propose go further towards hiding a dirty
source tree and have, in my experience, hidden files that need to be
added.

If you don't want these files to show up in hg status, then we have an
option that solves that.  It's called 'make clean'.
