	There is a variable called "completion-ignored-extensions"
	that allows you to specify which extensions should not be
	considered.

	For example, to avoid considering ".dvi" files during
	filename completion, you could add the following line to your
	.emacs :

	(setq completion-ignored-extensions
	      (cons ".dvi" completion-ignored-extensions))
