Encap 1.0: The encap.exclude File

If a file named encap.exclude existed in any subdirectory of a package, it contains a list of files in that directory (one per line) which should not be processed when installing or removing a package.

For example, say the sed-3.02 package contains these files: 

sed-3.02/bin/sed
sed-3.02/bin/bad-sed
sed-3.02/bin/encap.exclude
sed-3.02/man/man1/sed.1
If the sed-3.02/bin/encap.exclude file contains the line bad-sed, then the file sed-3.02/bin/bad-sed will not be linked into the Encap Target Directory when the package is installed.
