When using only the vcproj generator, you are correct. However, if you 
use the qmake generator, and create vcprojs from those, the *.idb and 
*.pdb files are located in the project directory itself, and not under 
Debug/. I'm not too worried about this case though, so for me, the 
three entries *.obj, *.idb and *.pdb can go.

Junio, you want me to push a new patch?
