A mix of <FilesMatch> [1] and 'Options' [2] (on Apache at least). As a
working example, Drupal's .htaccess file includes the following lines:

# Protect files and directories from prying eyes.
<FilesMatch "\.(engine|inc|info|install|module|profile|po|sh|.*sql|theme|tpl(\.php)?|xtmpl)$|^(code-style\.pl|Entries.*|Repository|Root|Tag|Template)$">
  Order allow,deny
</FilesMatch>

# Don't show directory listings for URLs which map to a directory.
Options -Indexes

I took a quick look at a local TYPO3 4.2 install to see if there's
something similar in the advanced .htaccess file that ships with
TYPO3, but I can't find it anymore…
