I agree for temporary files.

I fully disagree to move generated PNG files to the build tree.

As a icon maintainer and a menu/toolbar maintainer, I am very *happy* to easily find them in source
tree, for instance when I want to create a new icon, or choose an existing icon for a new menu item.

Build tree is subject to be deleted, not files in source tree.
