autogenerated files by Microsoft Visual C++ that may can be deleted #58632
Description
Describe the Bug
I was running lintian (static analysis tool for deb packages) in pedantic mode and it made suggestion to remove auto generated files from the source. I just wanted to share these remarks here, in case they may be useful. These files seem not to be important for Linux source built.
