Every time we compile a new version it creaes about 900Mb of intermediate files with various file extensions, which we would rather not back up. I couldn't find a way to add multiple "X" (exclude) options to the "-T" (tar) options. I think I may need to recompile with HAVE_REGEX_H and use a "proper" regular expression.
