Update file exclusion/inclusion lists

[Tieske]

Updated

• removed unused files
• removed ambiguity with patterns where '.' was used as path separator (now standardized on '/')
• exclusion/inclusion lists only worked if the config file was set to immediately generate a report upon completion. This is now fixed
• add functions to add in/exclusion files/trees from several types of parameters

Won't this introduce an incompatibility and break things for users who are relying on '.'?

[Tieske]

Theoretically; yes.

But as nobody ever complained about it not working... it won't.

[hishamhm]

oh :)

[Tieske]

come to think of it; no. it does not break compatibility. The old patterns for matching a file were more permissive than the new ones. So the old ones a user might have put in a config file will still work. The old ones contain '.' for path separators, the new ones '/'. So the new ones match exactly, while the old ones match based on the magic patern character '.'.

unless of course someone actually made the effort to escape the pattern by including '%.'....
