[Rock-dev] Autoproj, ignore file for update trigger

[Janosch Machowinski]

Autoproj watches the files in a package for changes.
If a change occurs, it triggers the build. E.g. calls make.
The problem was that external/snap was rebuilding
all the time, as the custom make file compiled a lib
inside of the source folder. I solved the problem, by
patching the makefile to compile it into the build folder,
that fixed the rebuild issue.
Still it would be good to know if there is a way to tell
autoproj to not trigger on a special file in a package.
